Rayonier: A Buy On Potential Tariff Tailwinds And Capital Management Upside

  • I maintain my Buy rating on Rayonier; the company is a potential winner in the ongoing trade war and it could adopt value-enhancing capital allocation initiatives. Given its geographical concentration in the U.S., RYN stands to benefit from tariffs on specific lumber imports. The pending sale of its New Zealand JV stake will unlock significant cash, enabling debt reduction and shareholder returns.
