Timber pricing in the U.S. has not kept up with inflation due to oversupply, while lumber prices have risen significantly. Timber REITs have seen weak profitability from timber segments, but strong profit margins from wood products. The timber and timberland sector is transitioning from a decade of oversupply to long-term undersupply, driven by new sources of demand such as solar conversions and carbon capture.
Weyerhaeuser (WY) enters into an exclusive carbon sequestration exploration agreement with Lapis Energy for two years to focus on its climate solutions portfolio.
