Boise Cascade Co

Boise Cascade is a major player in the North American building materials industry. The company operates through two main business segments: Wood Products and Building Materials Distribution. In its Wood Products division, it manufactures essential engineered wood products (EWP) like laminated veneer lumber and I-joists, as well as plywood. Its Building Materials Distribution arm operates a large network of facilities across the United States, wholesaling a broad line of building supplies from various manufacturers, including its own. These products are fundamental to new residential construction, from single-family homes to multi-family dwellings, as well as light industrial and commercial projects. As such, the company's performance can often be linked to the health of the broader construction and housing markets. An investment in Boise Cascade is an investment in a key supplier to the building sector, but remember that this industry can be cyclical.
