Underperform
Fundamental analysis of West Fraser Timber is weak, scoring only 0.7/10. Key concerns include an interest coverage ratio of 15.48 (adequate but not strong) and a negative ROE of -2.74%, indicating subpar profitability. Metrics such as Net income-Revenue (-0.17) and Cash-MV (-0.82) place the stock in lower performance quartiles, historically associated with negative returns. Although Asset-MV shows a slight historical edge, the overall fund flow strength and recent analyst upgrade hint at potential short-term rebound, but long-term fundamentals remain a challenge.
