Lumber & Wood Production: Boise Cascade Company owns the largest revenue base; Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the fastest current growth.
The industry itself · before any single company
How has Lumber & Wood Production moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 59% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 28% on average over the last four reported quarters.
FADING · −1 in 4w⚠Price down, no fundamental support0 of 4 companies ahead of S&P 500 by 5% or more over three months
Lumber & Wood Production, equal-weighted, based at 200S&P 500, same base, same starttrailing 12-month earnings per share risingfalling
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 4 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 79% evidence confidence.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Boise Cascade Company has the highest Revenue among the 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies compared here, at $6,367 million. UFP Industries, Inc. is next at $6,186 million. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 6.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 3 of 5 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Boise Cascade Company is the scale leader at $6,367 million, 2.9% ahead of UFP Industries, Inc.. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc.'s growth is 6.3% from a $2,382 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window.

This conclusion weakens if: Boise Cascade Company's growth falls below Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

What the numbers say: UFP Industries, Inc. has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with $392 million net cash and gross debt of $363 million. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Lumber & Wood Production comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 5 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 of the 8 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

Which companies are included?
All 5 companies in the canonical Lumber & Wood Production membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

These 17 answers restate the Lumber & Wood Production comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 5 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company is the biggest?
Boise Cascade Company is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $6,367 million, ahead of UFP Industries, Inc. at $6,186 million. That covers 3 of 5 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company is growing fastest?
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 6.3% year on year, across 3 of 5 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company has the best profit margins?
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the highest operating margin at 19.5%, from 4 of 5 comparable companies. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +0.5 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company makes the most profit?
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. earns the most, at $355 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 3 of 5 comparable companies. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 9.2%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company earns the highest return on capital?
FF Global Holdings Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 45.3%, across 5 of 5 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Lumber & Wood Production stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. screens cheapest at 1.82×. Only 1 of 5 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company has the strongest balance sheet?
UFP Industries, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $363 million, from 4 of 5 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company is investing most in new capacity?
West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. reports the largest capital spending at $94 million, across 4 of 5 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Lumber & Wood Production sector beating the market?
Lumber & Wood Production has underperformed S&P 500 by 15.7% over the last 52 weeks and 2.7% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 1 of 4 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Lumber & Wood Production stock has the strongest price momentum?
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Lumber & Wood Production company scores highest for research priority?
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. scores 57.5 out of 100 with 79% evidence confidence, from 18.6 points on growth and earnings, 17.4 on capital efficiency, 9.4 on valuation and 12.1 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Lumber & Wood Production companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 5 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 5 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Lumber & Wood Production sector?
The 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies on this page carry $21,509 million of combined market value. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. is the largest at $8,157 million, about 38% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-28.
How is the Lumber & Wood Production sector performing?
1 of the 4 covered Lumber & Wood Production companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 15.7% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-07-28.
How many Lumber & Wood Production stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 5 listed Lumber & Wood Production companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown.

Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
