West Fraser Timber backs FY26 capital expenditures view $300M-$350M

The company said, “Global events during the first quarter of 2026 are expected to increase oil-based input costs, including fuels, chemicals and waxes. While no material impacts on contract labour availability or capital equipment lead times are currently anticipated, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East and broader macroeconomic conditions create uncertainty regarding the duration and magnitude of these impacts. Based on our current outlook, assuming no deterioration from current market demand conditions and no additional lengthening of lead times for projects underway or planned, expected capital expenditures remain in the range of $300 million to $350 million in 2026.”
