West Fraser Timber announced indefinite curtailment of its Huguley OSB mill in Alabama and lumber mill in Arkansas due to continued weak demand in new home construction and renovations. The company reported a Q3 2026 loss of $80 million and adjusted EBITDA of $38 million on $1.363 billion sales. These curtailments will reduce OSB and lumber capacity significantly and lead to a $200-$220 million asset impairment in Q4. West Fraser also refinanced debt to strengthen liquidity and expects 2026 shipments to be at the lower end of guidance amid ongoing market challenges.
