Louisiana-Pacific Corp.
Louisiana‑Pacific Corporation (LPX) is a North American manufacturer of engineered wood products and building materials, including oriented strand board (OSB), siding and structural panels used in residential and light commercial construction. The business is cyclical: revenue and profitability tend to follow housing starts, renovation activity and commodity wood prices. LPX emphasises operational efficiency, product innovation (weather-resistant siding and engineered panels) and distribution scale to compete on cost and performance. Its market-cap (~$6.45bn) places it in the mid-cap building‑materials space, where capital spending, inventory and input costs matter. Investors should weigh the company’s exposure to the housing cycle, interest rates, and raw-material volatility.
