Weyerhaeuser
Weyerhaeuser's revenue fell 3.1% to $6.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 10.6%, up from 9.6% a year earlier. It paid out $766 million in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 0.7%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Weyerhaeuser does
Weyerhaeuser grows and harvests trees, sells land, and makes lumber and other building materials. It says it is one of the world's largest private owners of timberland. It owns or controls more than 10 million acres of timberland in the United States and manages long-term licenses on more than 14 million acres in Canada.
It reports three segments. Timberlands grows and sells logs. Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources sells land with a higher use than forestry, and earns income from minerals, wind and solar sites and carbon-related projects. Wood Products makes structural lumber, oriented strand board (panels used in building) and engineered wood products. From 2026 the land segment is renamed Strategic Land Solutions.
The company is a real estate investment trust (REIT), which lets it pass income from its timberlands to shareholders without paying corporate tax on it. Its wood products business is taxed as a normal company. The 10-K says the U.S. housing market strongly affects all three segments. It competes on product quality, service levels and price, and against substitutes for wood.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Demand for its products swings with the economy in cycles.
- Weak demand for new homes and for home repair and remodeling, which it depends on heavily.
- Higher interest rates that make mortgages harder to get and cut housing demand.
- Competition from many companies and from substitutes for wood products.
- Seasonal weather that slows building activity in winter and cuts demand for its logs and wood.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2016 to 2025, earnings per share fell 11.8% a year and net income 12.0% a year, with the share count about the same.
Returns on capital
Cash flow
Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital expenditure. The SEC's structured data for Weyerhaeuser's filings doesn't give both for any year, so free cash flow is left out.

Valuation
Two ways to value Weyerhaeuser yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Weyerhaeuser's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Weyerhaeuser's cash from operations minus depreciation in fiscal 2025 (free cash flow before spending to grow, as its free cash flow was not available) of $53M, net cash of −$5.1B at December 31, 2025 and 724 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Weyerhaeuser: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, -12.1% a year, kept between 0% and 20%; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 10%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Timber REITs), plus 1 point for unsteady results (revenue fell in two of the last five years); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target. A negative value means Weyerhaeuser's net debt is larger than what that scenario's cash flows are worth today.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Weyerhaeuser's earnings per share of $0.66 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 29.7×, the middle of Weyerhaeuser's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (Weyerhaeuser's own P/E today) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 11%, 10% and 9%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
