Outlook and guidance
North American lumber and global pulp markets expected to remain weak through year-end, with inventories above balanced range and economic uncertainty persisting.
European market conditions are the most challenging since 2019, with modest supply-driven improvement possible in Q4 2025 and broader recovery more likely in 2026.
Pulp market recovery requires significant supply reduction; current excess inventory estimated at 1–1.5 million tons.
CPPI faces risk of non-compliance with financial covenants in Q4 2025 due to expected lower results and scheduled maintenance outage; management is seeking a waiver and implementing cost-saving measures.
Anticipated capital spend for 2025: CAD 240 million (lumber), CAD 45 million (pulp); for 2026: CAD 175 million (lumber), CAD 35 million (pulp).

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
