RE: RE: Upgrades
RE: RE: Upgrades I don't know...lumber was a big sore spot. I don't think they would have much reason to sell 2 mills that were losing money just to buy a few more that are losing money. Eacoms mills ARE closer to home for Tembec and Tembec seems to have lots of lumber customers south of the border. I'd be happy to see Tembec just bank the money, the balance sheet will be hugely improved. Last quarter their forest products was negative EBITDA $10million. The mills they sold were SPF dimensional lumber mills which is the lumber that is sucking wind still and probably accounting for a lot of that loss. To the best of my knowledge some of their other forest products are worth a bit more, like hardwoods and specialty pine.
I think Tembec is a sweet play right now because of its product mix...pulp, paper, chemical and wood. All sectors with lots of room to improve, if ones not up, another one is.
