  • PotlatchDeltic reassessed after timber market headlines
    January 18, 2026, 10:57 AM EST. PotlatchDeltic's stock is at $45.39, up 5.3% in a week and higher over 30 days. Recent timber and real estate market headlines have sharpened investor focus on risk versus reward. Simply Wall St assigns PotlatchDeltic 2 out of 6 on valuation checks. In a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model, the latest twelve-month FCF is $201.118 million; projections extend to $284.7 million in 2028 and beyond. Discounting those cash flows yields an intrinsic value of about $85.79 per share, implying the stock is roughly 47% undervalued versus the current price. The P/E discussion is another quick proxy, reflecting growth and risk expectations. Note: DCF is one method; it relies on cash flow estimates and discount rates.
