PotlatchDeltic Shareholders Approve Merger With Rayonier

PotlatchDeltic ( (PCH) ) has shared an announcement.

On January 27, 2026, PotlatchDeltic stockholders approved the merger agreement under which the company will be merged into a Rayonier subsidiary, though they voted against, on a non-binding basis, the merger-related compensation for named executive officers. With a strong quorum of more than 65 million shares represented, the vote clears a key hurdle for the deal, which, alongside Rayonier stockholder approvals announced the same day, paves the way for closing after market close on January 30, 2026. Under the agreed terms, each PotlatchDeltic share will be converted into 1.8185 Rayonier shares plus $0.61 in cash, leaving Rayonier shareholders owning about 54% of the combined timberland REIT and former PotlatchDeltic stockholders holding roughly 46%; the merged company will initially retain the Rayonier name and NYSE ticker RYN as it seeks to consolidate its position in U.S. timberland and wood products markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (PCH) stock is a Buy with a $49.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on PotlatchDeltic stock, see the PCH Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PCH Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PCH is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid cash generation and a stable balance sheet despite pressured profitability. Technicals are supportive with price above major moving averages, but overbought momentum signals add near-term risk. Valuation is a headwind due to a high P/E, partially offset by a strong dividend yield, while the earnings call reinforced a mixed near-term outlook (Q4 softness expected) with improving longer-term drivers and merger synergies.
