Argus analyst Marie Ferguson maintained a Hold rating on Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY) on May 28 due to challenges in the current economic environment. Weyerhaeuser’s profits are tied to the new-housing market, which has suffered from high borrowing costs and a weak economy.

The oversupply of existing homes has worsened, caused by a slowdown in development over the past two years. Analysts predict a potential return to positive yearly earnings growth, but the housing market is expected to remain weak in 2025, with WY not likely to establish a solid foundation until 2026.

Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY) is one of the largest private owners of timberlands in North America, managing around 10.4 million acres in the US and additional properties in Canada under long-term licenses.

While WY has growth potential, some believe other AI stocks offer better returns with limited downside risk. An AI stock with 100x upside potential is highlighted in a report for those seeking promising investments beyond Weyerhaeuser.
