The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the last two years (104 weeks) this industry is 52% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 21% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Price down, no fundamental support. 0 of the 4 companies with a long enough price record ahead of S&P 500 by 5% or more over three months.

Not ahead of S&P 500 on the three-month view this week; 2 of the 4 companies in the industry index above their 200-day average (2 more than four weeks earlier); 0 of those 4 ahead of S&P 500 by 5% or more over three months (no change from four weeks earlier); earnings rising at 1 of the 4 that report earnings.

Not ahead of S&P 500 yet, but 0 more stocks joined in four weeks, 0 → 0 of 4. Earnings not confirming, 1 of 4 members have higher trailing twelve-month earnings than a year ago.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the gap between them tells the story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of 4 of its 5 companies (the 1 with too short a price record are ranked in the scorecard but cannot sit in this line). The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member set to 100 at the start and the industry taking the middle value, so a price line pulling away from flat bars means the market is paying more for the same earnings. A bar turns grey when that figure is lower than the quarter before. The rules are fixed and the same 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 or tap any point to read both values and the gap.

Lumber & Wood Production has done worse than the S&P 500 by 4.1% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 5.5%. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +9.7%.

Lumber & Wood Production has done worse than the S&P 500 by 4.1% over 52 weeks and by 5.5% over 13 weeks. 1 of 5 companies we track is beating the S&P 500 on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months) (1 has no relative-strength reading yet), and 2 of the 4 with a long enough price history are ahead of the industry itself.

A score that ranks each company against the others in its industry. The four parts shown always add up to the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or old evidence affects only its own part, never as a hidden adjustment.

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 78.1% evidence confidence.

Ranked last: too little evidence (1 company)

Under 60% of the evidence behind this score is available, so it ranks after every company above, whatever the score.

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Lumber & Wood Production at +15.3%. It also leads on relative strength against the S&P 500, at +5.3%. 1 of 5 companies we track is ahead of the index on that measure (1 has no relative-strength reading yet). Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 6 November 2026.

Price and relative strength

Price · same starting point: Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts: the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

RS vs S&P 500: How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.

RS vs sector: The same measure taken against Lumber & Wood Production itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Boise Cascade Company has the highest Revenue among the 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies compared here, at $6,592 million. UFP Industries, Inc. is next at $6,407 million. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 5.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 3 of 5 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Boise Cascade Company is the largest at $6,592 million, 2.9% ahead of UFP Industries, Inc. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc.'s growth is 5.4% from a $2,436 million base, with 19 reported quarters out of the last 20. Fast growth from a smaller base is not yet the same as proven size.

What this means: Boise Cascade Company is the size to compare against; Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. is the one growing fastest. The faster grower has to keep that growth and turn it into margin and returns before it counts as more than a fast start.

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.

All-company data · latest reported quarter

In every all-company table on this page, each figure is the company’s latest single reported quarter. The rankings above them use trailing-twelve-month or current-market values, so a company can legitimately show a different number in each.

Revenue shows both size and speed. A large company can absorb shocks and pay for wide distribution; faster growth can mean market-share gains, new capacity or stronger demand. The best sign is usually growth that lasts without hurting margins and returns.

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the highest OPM among the 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies compared here, at 22.1%. UFP Industries, Inc. is next at 3.9%. West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. has the highest Margin change at +12.1 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. Its OPM series carries 19 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. leads opm at 22.1%; West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. leads margin change at +12.1 percentage points.

What this means: Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the highest Net profit among the 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies compared here, at $380 million. UFP Industries, Inc. is next at $225 million. The same company also has the highest Profit growth, at 10.5%. 3 of 5 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. earns the most, $380 million of profit over the last 12 months, 68.9% above UFP Industries, Inc. A fast rate from a small base matters less than a large profit that keeps coming.

What this means: Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

FF Global Holdings Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies compared here, at 45.3%. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. is next at 18.3%. Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +1.4 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: FF Global Holdings Ltd leads ROCE at 45.3%, 27 percentage points above Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. A high return reported once may be one good year; a high return reported year after year shows a lasting business.

What this means: FF Global Holdings Ltd sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 5 Lumber & Wood Production companies compared here, at 1.45×. The same company also has the lowest P/E, at 18.4×. 1 of 5 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026. Its PEG series carries 7 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: That would need today's multiple, the company's own history and steady growth to agree.

What this means: A low valuation is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is worked out the same way every time, as the P/E on the last 12 months of reported earnings divided by that growth rate, never on expected earnings. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

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 5 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still come from a very small starting figure.

Keep these limits visible

• A high growth rate can come from a very small starting figure. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
• A high ROCE can be temporary, or look high because the capital base is small. It is best read beside margin, cash flow and how much is spent back on the business.
• The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks published data only. Management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of it.
• 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.

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 Dec 2026 and market data through 6 November 2026.

These 21 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 Dec 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 6 November 2026. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
