RE:dividends vs buybacksPart of the deal to merge with Norbord was for both companies to hold their cash until merger was over.
When they release 2021 1st quarter results (announcement in May) it will be another record breaking quarter and they will know what Q2/Q3 looks like for demand with building season in full swing.
Thats when they will decide what to do with the mountain of cash they are and will be sitting on.
My 2 cents anyway.
