  • West Fraser Timber Shares Show Potential Undervaluation Despite Recent Price Recovery
    January 24, 2026, 5:43 PM EST. West Fraser Timber (TSX:WFG) shares closed at C$98.81, marking a 19.6% gain over 30 days but a 23.3% decline over one year. The company, a North American wood products producer, faces investor scrutiny amid fluctuating housing and construction demand. A discounted cash flow (DCF) model estimating future cash flows suggests the stock is undervalued by 84.8%, with an intrinsic value of about C$649.15 per share, far above current prices. Meanwhile, price-to-sales ratios provide a stable cross-check of valuation amid earnings volatility. Despite recent gains, West Fraser Timber's returns lag peers over the past year, prompting debate on fair value and risk amid shifting market conditions.
