Boise Cascade: Truist Securities lowers price target to $101 from $106.
In a recent development, Truist Securities has revised its price target for Boise Cascade (NYSE:BCC) stock from $106 to $101. This adjustment comes amidst broader market fluctuations and company-specific challenges that have impacted investor sentiment. Despite the price decline, Boise Cascade maintains strong fundamentals, with a healthy current ratio of 2.82 and an attractive P/E ratio of 10.37, as reported by InvestingPro [1].
Boise Cascade's stock has experienced a significant downturn over the past year, hitting a 52-week low at $83.07, a decrease of 32.82% from its previous year's value [1]. The company's first-quarter 2025 earnings report revealed an EPS of $1.06, which fell short of the forecasted $1.47, but the company exceeded revenue expectations, reporting $1.54 billion compared to the anticipated $1.53 billion [1]. Analysts have been adjusting their price targets in response to these earnings reports and market conditions.
DA Davidson, another major analyst firm, has also lowered its price target for Boise Cascade, from $125.00 to $100.00, while maintaining a Buy rating. Truist Securities' reduction to $101 reflects a cautious outlook on the company's near-term performance, particularly in light of slowing single-family new residential demand and intensifying competition in the engineered wood products market [2].
Despite these downward revisions, Boise Cascade maintains a robust balance sheet with $1 per share in net cash, and its valuation remains attractive at current levels. The company's strong financial health metrics, including a 6.97% dividend yield, continue to be notable bright spots [1]. Market watchers will be keen to see how Boise Cascade navigates these challenges and strategizes to regain its footing in the coming months.
