What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($9.81). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (45/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($5.19 to $9.81) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 5, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $57.05 – $97.97 · fair‑value band $5.19 – $9.81 · the $67.01 price screens above the $7.50 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 5 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 5, 2026.
Analysis
West Fraser Timber Co Ltd (WFG) currently trades at $67.01, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.50, implying the stock looks roughly 793.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Asset-Based group reads highest at a median of $51.41 per share, and 0 of the 4 models we run sit above the $67.01 price. Bear case: the Multiples group reads lowest at $7.93, and 4 of the 4 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Over the trailing twelve months, West Fraser Timber Co Ltd generated revenue of $5.3B at a net margin of −21.9%. Revenue declined 8.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −18.6%. Net debt stands at $131M. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.19 (bear case) to $9.81 (bull case); at $67.01, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −33% fair-value upside, at −89%, WFG screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($51.41) versus Multiples ($7.93). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (67).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 44 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 45
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
