Cascades ( (TSE:CAS) ) just unveiled an update.
Cascades Inc. has agreed to sell its corrugated packaging plant in Richmond, British Columbia, to Crown Paper Group for $65.5 million, including real estate assets and subject to customary adjustments and closing conditions. The divestiture is part of Cascades’ broader strategy to optimize its operational footprint and reduce debt by reallocating capital to core markets, with management emphasizing that the asset sale monetizes valuable real estate while having no material impact on the packaging segment’s cash flow profile. Because the Richmond facility had limited integration and synergy potential within Cascades’ network due to its geography, the plant is seen as a stronger strategic fit for Crown, whose existing integrated containerboard mill and regional presence in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada are expected to ensure a seamless transition for employees and customers, reinforce Crown’s regional expansion, and maintain ongoing investment in the site.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CAS) stock is a Buy with a C$16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cascades stock, see the TSE:CAS Stock Forecast page.

Cascades’ overall score is driven by strong operational performance and cash flow generation, despite profitability challenges and high leverage.
