LP Corporation Beats Earnings Despite Market Challenges

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation exceeded EBITDA expectations in Q1 2026, despite a challenging housing market and external factors. SmartSide siding performed well, with pricing power offsetting volume drops. Siding EBITDA fell by just five million on ten percent lower sales, thanks to price hikes and growth in their hot ExpertFinish line. Oriented strand board took a twelve million loss but performed better than expected with tight cost controls. The company posted thirty-eight cents adjusted earnings per share and returned twenty-one million to shareholders in dividends. Safety remained a priority, with North American teams logging over one and a half million hours at a low incident rate. Looking ahead, LP is optimistic about share gains across off-site, remodel, and new builds as the housing market recovers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
