West Fraser Timber remains in deeply depressed territory, with no signs of cyclical improvement and ongoing cash burn to reach normalization. 2Q26 adjusted EBITDA was flat sequentially and halved year-over-year, with NA EWP EBITDA collapsing from $68M to $13M due to OSB weakness. WFG's balance sheet is not in immediate danger but is strained; operating cash flow is insufficient to cover CAPEX and dividends without seasonal working-capital releases.
