What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Canfor announced it would invest $96 million into its Iron Mountain sawmill and log yard operations on the south side of El Dorado, hiring 75 additional workers. This investment comes as West Fraser Timber Co. indefinitely curtailed its lumber mill in Leola and its oriented strand board (OSB) mill in Lanett, Alabama, citing continued weakness in demand for wood products.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The investment by Canfor signals activity in the wood products sector, while West Fraser's curtailments indicate broader industry weakness. West Fraser expects to record an asset impairment loss between $200 million and $220 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 due to these actions.
