    Third quarter earnings put Boise Cascade in focus

    Boise Cascade (BCC) moved into the spotlight after third quarter results showed sales of US$1,802.17 million and net income of US$36.39 million, both higher than the same period a year earlier.

    The third quarter release appears to have reset sentiment around Boise Cascade, with the share price up 4.24% on the day and 4.59% over the past week, even though the 90 day share price return is still down 7.45% and the 3 year total shareholder return is down 15.58%. This suggests that recent momentum is improving from a weaker medium term patch.

    At a latest share price of US$77.98, the stock has a 1 year total shareholder return of 10.53% and a 5 year total shareholder return of 47.56%. This points to a better outcome for long term holders than for those who bought closer to the recent peak where the 90 day share price performance has been softer.

    Investors have also been reacting to other recent developments, including the late October dividend affirmation of US$0.23 per share and the appointment of industry veteran Brian Carlson to the Board. Both of these factors influence how the market weighs Boise Cascade's income profile and governance alongside the latest earnings.
