7% production increased with 85% price increased
How much would that give for EPS certainty more than $5 annually
Full-year production is expected to rise by 7 per cent.
FP/wire say Resolute Forest takes hit for Q1 miss
2021-04-30 09:47 ET - In the News
The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that lumber demand is so strong that Resolute Forest Products' order book exceeds its inventory, according to chief executive officer Remi Lalonde. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post says that after trucking and rail car shortages hampered shipments during the first quarter, Resolute is now holding extra inventories at a time of record wood prices, Mr. Lalonde told analysts on a conference call Thursday. Still, even those stockpiles are not enough to satisfy the North American building boom, so Resolute is increasing output. Full-year production is expected to rise by 7 per cent. Lumber futures have surged 85 per cent this year on sky-high demand from home builders and remodellers. "We're selling volume that we haven't sawed yet," the CEO said. The inventory rise during a price rally was "kind of a happy accident." Investors punished Montreal-based Resolute for posting adjusted per-share profit that trailed every analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg. Executives cited transport snags for the underperformance. To boost output, Resolute restarted an Ontario mill idle for two years, as well as one in Arkansas. Resolute closed Thursday at $16.12, down $2.95 in Toronto.

That was still the best Q in at least 9 years. As long as lumber is high it’s all good amd we already know the price for Q2
Other branches kinda sucked included tissue and pulp.
There is no BS from now on and they must deliver a home run in 3 months
I m holding
and you might be right for all i know but im not in the mood to buy your explanation because even if it is true and he is a low life one way or the other...this Q was not a throw away Q... he created bad faith loss of good will....IMO...i wont ever own this stock again unless it falls to 10 for bad faith..good luck but ill leave you alone now
Well at this point it’s all about the lumber price and with 200M ebitda on first Q it seems that they could be right
Analysts at $5.30 now for full year and Q2 and Q3 way too low!
Might hurt a little today but in 3 months will be well over $20. Premarket volume today in about nothin.
My guess is they saw lumber skyrocketing and decided to sit on 50 mil bf and ship in Q2 rather than Q1. So they took the futures loss to make 10x that in Q2 by shipping at $1250 rather than $780.
Going to hurt today
not much...how do you lose 37 million on futures...they want to play like that they need to go to the casino
im sure you are right but it would be a BLAST if i were stupid right
Can’t be that high but that would be sweet
I hope there are no bad surprise and this should be a good day
is it thursday yet!!!!!...ill make believe im an analyst 5 bucks a share ........call me every name in the book...5 bucks a share....
I agree with you.
Every $25 of lumber price improvement results in 48mil of higher operating profit. Using Q4 as a baseline, these means that absolute worse case RFP will have ebitda $350mil higher than Q4. Add another worse case assumption and that adds Eps of at least $2 to the Q4 55cents. I don’t see how Eps could be less than $2.50. No freakin way. Analyst consensus is $1.67.
But even if RFP would somehow miss, no one is gonna sell because Q2 will be so much higher than Q1 due to both lumber and pulp. The numbers are not fathomable to analysts.
So I also see this as a slam dunk for a massive move higher over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
next week earnings...no one will be selling this news..just the opp. they will be mud wrestling for shares.. rfp i s going to blow the numbers out of the water and forwrd guidance will describe a whole new world...i am fully loaded and even though this i all opinion. i am buying more before..already 78% of my port is now rfp...all my eggs in one basket...i dont care
the nickel dimers come and go...I WANT wheelbarrows of cash..this is the spot..shame on me for pumping but im on the gold

"#SaltLakeCity home builder mid-April color: “Still have 10x buyers to available homes to buy. Went to 'highest/ best' offer system March 1st & offers over asking price are shocking. Most offers are 10+% over ask, that's after raised base prices $10K to $20K+ with each release.”

#Houston home builder mid-April color: “Increasing prices 2% to 3% a month to keep up with costs.”

#Charlotte home builder mid-April color: “Capping sales at 4 per month for each community, which is frustrating customers. Finished lots are golden.”
#RiversideSanBernardino home builder mid-April color: “Anyone walking in is a buyer. There are no looky-loos. Raising prices at an obscene level.”
#OrangeCounty home builder mid-April color: “Raising prices materially each sales phase release. It’s crazy, but so are our costs. Many of the homes are being bought by investors.”
#Seattle home builder mid-April color: “We have monthly price increases per community. All have escalators in multiple offers we are getting, ranging from $20k to $200k over list price. Offer reviews are pushing pricing beyond our list price by 10% or more.”

#Boston home builder mid-April color: “When homes are released, they go almost immediately. Sales as strong as I can remember. Pushing price on every release with no resistance.”
#SanJose home builder mid-April color: “Running out of inventory. Sales remain strong, starting to hold back releases until construction can catch up.”
#EastBayCA home builder mid-April color: “Swamped right now. Still seeing a lot of traffic, increases prices and totally sold out with very little (if any) inventory.”
#Indianapolis home builder mid-April color: “Traffic down slightly from March but still well over our normal volume. Restricting sales as demand is still really strong. Stopped taking VIPs because list of interested buyers is longer than the number of lots we have.”
#Chicago home builder mid-April color: “Concern about the overpaying and that when Covid settles down there could be some big hits taken.”

Yeahhh sorry I m off by a week but the recent pull back is interesting bc lumber keep going up every day
i think results are on the 29th but im looking forward to them whenever..im holding through and beyond good luck
Do u guys think the actual price already considering the good news or we are going up tomorrow after the results?
That’s very good news !!!

You need to look at Page 65 of their latest 10-K. It shows how much more RFP makes per $25 increase in lumber/pulp/paper. For lumber it's $48M a year. Lumber is limit up nearly every day. RFP averaged $605 lumber last quarter and now lumber trades over $1300. That's 1.3B in additional earnings there at this price or more than the entire $15 share price, plus pulp and paper are up too. You can't find any other companies printing off so much cash. Additionally analyst numbers are way too low, they'll need to be adjusted upward greatly
yeah thats where i got it..gl
Yes, I had watched that earlier today. Someone on yahoo finance mentioned it. Interesting, I hope he is right.
I think the point you were making was a good one. I wouldn’t mind seeing lumber trade in a $900 to $1200 range for the next couple years.
thanks for that. i really dont know much about it
No worries yet. On a typical new house, these high lumber prices add $24,000 to the price tag. That equates to only an extra $100/month on a 30 year mortgage. Not insignificant, but not terrible either.
lumber futures limit up again..to be honest..i hope they stabilize or new construction will be only for the millionaires
are you ready to rumble!!!..today we are going to mud wrestle for 2 by 4's
huge volume...have no idea what monday looks like. but i am in a home appraised for 475k a year ago..place is a museum..hasnt been updated in 25 years ...realtor calls and says there is no inventory i have someone who will give you 600k...hour north of Manhatten...people want homes..they dont want to be trapped on the 45th floor when the next shoe drops...this is not a blip ...covid has changed the way people think permanently...i dont know what kind of valuation we are headed for but im think the hosuing mkt is heading for a double along with lumber futures...anyway ..im staying put..if she offer 750 ill consider...on second thought 900....its only money
Now I know where the late day VTSI buying came from! You sold some RFP and bought some VTSI.
Just kidding but a reasonable thing to do!
Interest rates. Yesterday I closed on an 18 unit apartment building for $2mil. I borrowed $1.5mil and the bank locked my rate at 3.75% for the next 5 years! And this is a commercial loan which is typically 1% higher than a residential mortgage loan. In 10+ years of buying multi family and commercial buildings it is the lowest rate I have ever gotten. My point is.....the banks sure don’t see higher rates any time soon.
I am still in and will hold for at least another 6 months and perhaps much longer.
This is a big old resistance to break
Conifex ?.....IFP ?......Man, I've been freaking SLEEPING

Bodes very well; but remain watchful of housing!
Lumber already causing substantial increase in new homes cost.
Creeping interest rates another concern but back-burner.
Prices tend to regulate supply/demand themselves.
Just lots of other opportunities available.
Should break $15.00 soon!
RFP
Looks like some big boys are getting in
Lumber yard prices up 83% ....shortage + inlation in USA bodes well for RFP shareholders.
Yep... Good company; but I sold the stock!
The gem finally got on the radar.
me and you both
