These 3 Rising Dividend Plays Come CheapLouisiana-Pacific NYSE: LPX reported lower second-quarter sales and EBITDA as weak oriented strand board, or OSB, pricing weighed on results, while its Siding segment remained profitable and the company said it expects that business to return to year-over-year growth in the third quarter.

Net sales for the second quarter were $664 million, down $90 million from the prior-year period, while EBITDA declined $63 million to $79 million. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.40. The company generated $140 million in operating cash flow, returned $21 million to shareholders through dividends, and ended the quarter with $228 million in cash and nearly $1 billion of total liquidity, including an undrawn $750 million revolver.

Chief Executive Officer Jason Ringblom said LP continued to focus on safety and operational efficiency amid a housing market that “feels like it’s stuck in neutral.” He said lower OSB prices, reflecting soft demand in North and South America, accounted for most of the company’s overall revenue and EBITDA decline.

Siding Performance and Third-Quarter Outlook LP’s Siding sales declined 4% year over year in the second quarter. A 7% increase in prices partly offset an 11% decrease in volumes, compared with what the company described as its all-time record quarterly volume performance a year earlier. The segment produced a 26% EBITDA margin, in line with company guidance.

Within the segment, primed Siding volume fell 12%, while ExpertFinish volume rose 1%. Chief Financial Officer Alan Haughie said higher prices contributed $27 million to Siding revenue and EBITDA, while lower volumes reduced revenue by $46 million and EBITDA by $24 million.

LP said its Prime SmartSide channel inventories have normalized after an unintended pull-forward of sales, particularly in the shed sector, during the fourth quarter of 2025. Ringblom said distributor sell-through for Prime SmartSide in the second quarter was higher than in any of the prior five quarters, while order intake exceeded four of the previous five quarters.

The company expects Siding revenue of $460 million to $470 million in the third quarter, a range whose low end would equal the prior revenue record. LP expects third-quarter Siding EBITDA of $110 million to $120 million, representing an EBITDA margin of about 25%, and reaffirmed its prior full-year guidance for Siding revenue, EBITDA and margin.

“Higher selling prices are projected to contribute the majority of this growth,” said Aaron Howald, LP’s vice president of investor relations, financial planning and analysis, and business development. “But based on the momentum of our order file as well as our demand outlook, we also expect modest volume increases.”

During the question-and-answer session, Ringblom said shed-sector volume increased more than 30% sequentially from the first to the second quarter, though LP still expects the segment to be down 10% to 15% for the full year. The company expects repair-and-remodeling demand to be flat to slightly higher, while other markets are expected to be flat to slightly down in line with underlying housing conditions.

Weather, Freight and Inflation Pressured Margins LP said Siding margins faced unexpected late-quarter disruptions, including equipment failures at its Dawson Creek, British Columbia, mill and severe flooding in western Manitoba that affected employees at its Swan Valley operation and transportation infrastructure.

Haughie said the events caused lost production, higher freight costs and unplanned inventory movements. Flood damage required the company to shift some shipments from rail to truck and use longer routes to market. Constrained freight capacity added to transportation cost pressure beyond the effect of higher crude oil prices.

The company also cited $14 million of inflationary costs and other items in Siding, with more than half attributable to higher crude oil prices flowing through its raw-material supply chain. Haughie said the disruptions pulled forward some inventory-related effects that had been expected in the third quarter, and that, absent those events, Siding EBITDA would have been at or above the top end of guidance.

Howald said LP does not intend to pursue a midyear Siding price increase, instead indicating that any raw-material cost offset would likely be incorporated into its full-year price action for 2027. He said the company believes stable pricing may be supporting volume performance, although LP cannot precisely quantify the effect.

OSB Conditions Deteriorate OSB results declined as pricing and volumes both weakened. Haughie said OSB prices ended the quarter approximately $15 below the company’s guidance algorithm. Lower prices and volumes reduced OSB revenue by $67 million and EBITDA by $46 million from the prior-year quarter.

LP expects OSB EBITDA of approximately negative $45 million in the third quarter and negative $120 million for the full year, assuming prices remain flat at current levels through year-end. Howald said OSB prices had fallen about $12, or 6%, since LP’s May earnings call despite higher raw-material costs.

Ringblom said LP operated its OSB network at a utilization rate in the mid-to-high 70% range during the second quarter and plans to maintain that range in the third quarter to balance supply with customer demand. The company is pursuing cost and efficiency improvements while seeking to protect its assets and maintain safety standards.

LP also said Structural Solutions volumes have been pressured by cost-conscious builders trading down to lower-value products and by building-code changes affecting its radiant barrier products. However, management said it has manufacturing redundancy across its network and does not expect potential production adjustments to materially impair Structural Solutions supply.

Capital Spending Reduced, Siding Expansion Continues LP lowered its 2026 capital-expenditure outlook by $70 million to approximately $320 million. Howald said the reduction primarily reflects delayed lower-risk maintenance and sustaining projects, predominantly within OSB, rather than a retreat from growth investments.

About three-quarters of planned capital spending is expected to go to Siding, including essentially all growth capital. LP is ramping a new ExpertFinish line in Green Bay, plans to add 20 million feet of capacity at its Bath, New York, facility later this year, and broke ground in June on an ExpertFinish painting facility in North Branch, Minnesota.

Management said the North Branch project will be LP’s largest and most efficient ExpertFinish painting facility. The company said it has 400 million to 500 million feet of headroom in primed Siding capacity, with additional ExpertFinish capacity coming from its expansion projects.

LP continues to assess future Siding capacity options, with its Maniwaki facility identified as the leading candidate for a potential next project. Howald said a new project could take roughly two and a half years from an investment decision to the production of its first board, depending on the location and project scope.

The company also announced that Haughie will retire as CFO on Sept. 1 after nearly seven years in the role. Howald is set to succeed him.

Outlook

LP is providing financial guidance for the third quarter of 2026 and full year 2026 as set forth in the table below.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 fell year over year by $90 million to $664 million. Siding revenue decreased by $19 million, or 4%, due to 11% lower volumes, partially offset by 7% higher prices. OSB revenue decreased by $68 million, driven by a decline in both prices and sales volumes.

Net income for the second quarter of 2026 decreased year over year by $27 million to $26 million ($0.38 per diluted share). The decline primarily reflects a $63 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by the absence of $17 million of impairment charges incurred in 2025, a benefit of $12 million related to the reduction in tax provision, and a $8 million decrease in foreign currency loss. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects a $35 million impact from lower OSB prices, a $24 million impact from lower Siding volumes, an $11 million impact from lower OSB volumes, a $12 million impact from inflationary costs, and a $5 million impact from lower selling prices in South America. These decreases were partially offset by a $27 million benefit from higher Siding selling prices.

First Six Months of 2026 Highlights

Net sales for the first six months of 2026 decreased year over year by $240 million to $1.2 billion. Siding revenue decreased by $61 million, or 7%, due to 14% lower volumes, partially offset by 8% higher prices. OSB revenue decreased by $167 million, driven by lower prices and sales volumes.

Net income for the first six months of 2026 decreased year over year by $91 million to $53 million ($0.76 per diluted share). The decrease primarily reflects a $143 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, which was partially offset by the absence of $17 million of impairment charges incurred in 2025, a benefit of $28 million related to the reduction in tax provision, and an $16 million decrease in foreign currency loss. The year-over-year decline in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by a $101 million impact from lower OSB prices, along with additional headwinds of $59 million from lower Siding volumes, $21 million from lower OSB volumes, and $13 million from lower selling prices in South America. These decreases were partially offset by a $54 million benefit from higher Siding selling prices.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, OSB net sales decreased year over year by $68 million and $167 million, respectively, primarily driven by lower OSB prices and a decline in sales volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods decreased year over year by $40 million and $106 million, respectively, reflecting the impact of lower OSB prices and a decline in sales volumes.

Other

Other operations include LP's South American business that manufactures and distributes OSB structural panels and siding products in South America and certain export markets. Other operations also include timber and timberlands as well as other products, services, and closed operations, which do not qualify as discontinued operations. Additionally, Other includes unallocated corporate expenses.

Other net sales decreased by $3 million and $12 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily due to a decline in OSB selling prices in South America. Adjusted EBITDA for the same periods decreased year over year by $12 million and $20 million, respectively, driven by a decline in South America net sales along with higher costs incurred in that market.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

When evaluating the Company's performance on a U.S. GAAP basis, management utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e). These measures exclude the impact of specific costs, expenses, gains, and losses to evaluate our overall operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior periods, as they generally exclude items that are outside of the normal course of our business or beyond management's control. It is important to note that non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. In this press release, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS (as each defined below) are non-GAAP measures that are used by management and external users of our condensed consolidated financial statements such as investors, industry analysts, and lenders.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, other non-operating income (expense), income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and net income attributed to noncontrolling interest. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates.

Adjusted Income is defined as net income, excluding loss on impairment, business exit credits and charges, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, pension settlement charges, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, net income attributed to noncontrolling interest, foreign currency gains and losses, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company updated the definition of Adjusted Income to exclude foreign currency gains and losses. These gains and losses primarily arise from the remeasurement of all monetary assets and liabilities including intercompany notes that are denominated in a different currency than the entity's functional currency. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations. The Company believes this exclusion provides investors with a clearer view of underlying operating performance by removing the effects of currency fluctuations that are largely outside of the Company's control and do not reflect its core business activities. For comparability and consistency, all prior period Adjusted Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures have been recast to conform to the current presentation. The impact of this update for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was an increase to Adjusted Income of $6 million and $9 million, respectively, and an increase to Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.08 per share and $0.14 per share, respectively.

Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, net income and net income per share of common stock - diluted, respectively, are presented below. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of net income and net income per share of common stock - diluted or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The following tables present summary data relating to: (i) housing starts within the United States, (ii) our sales volumes, and (iii) our Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) performance. We consider the following items to be key performance indicators for our business because LP’s management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends in our industry, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions. We believe that the key performance indicators presented may provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing our core operating performance. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the financial measures that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators used by other companies.

We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly titled performance indicators reported by other companies.

The following table sets forth actual housing starts data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, as published through July 17, 2026, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding and OSB segments, which we define as the amount of our products sold within the applicable period measured in million square feet (MMSF) on a standard 3/8" thickness basis. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volume data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, sales volume data may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.

The following table sets forth sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in MMSF):

We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to monitor operational improvements. We use a best-in-class target across all LP sites that allows us to optimize capital investments, focus on maintenance and reliability improvements, and improve overall equipment efficiency. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE data differently, and therefore, as presented by us, OEE data may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

OEE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 for each of our reportable segments is listed below:

Louisiana-Pacific (LPX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.4 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.58 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.99 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -31.03%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this home construction supplier would post earnings of $0.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.38, delivering a surprise of +322.22%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Louisiana-Pacific, which belongs to the Zacks Building Products - Wood industry, posted revenues of $664 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.48%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $755 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Louisiana-Pacific shares have lost about 4.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13%.

What's Next for Louisiana-Pacific?While Louisiana-Pacific has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Louisiana-Pacific was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.47 on $676.65 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.86 on $2.55 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Building Products - Wood is currently in the top 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the broader Zacks Construction sector, Argan (AGX - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026.

This builder of energy plants is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.68 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +7.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Argan's revenues are expected to be $297.78 million, up 25.3% from the year-ago quarter.
