- What they said
- LPX reported Q2 2026 net sales of $664 million (down $90M YoY) and EBITDA of $79 million (down $63M YoY), with adjusted EPS of $0.40. Siding revenue grew 4% YoY with 26% EBITDA margins, while OSB declined due to soft demand. Weather disruptions and freight constraints created unexpected headwinds. SmartSide volume has grown at 10% CAGR since 2011 versus 6% for single-family starts, demonstrating consistent share gains.
- Guidance
- Management expects to recover some weather and freight headwind impacts later in 2026. Updated full-year guidance reflects normalized Primed SmartSide channel inventories and rebounding order intake. LP ended Q2 with nearly $1 billion in liquidity.
