Outperform -> Market Perform

Reason

BMO Capital downgraded PotlatchDeltic (PCH) to Market Perform from Outperform with a price target of $45, down from $51. The company's pending merger with Rayonier (RYN) will significantly reduce its exposure to lumber, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Meanwhile, the U.S. South pulpwood markets are likely to remain challenged in the near term due to pulp and paper capacity shutdowns, adds BMO.

Reason

RBC Capital lowered the firm's price target on PotlatchDeltic to $46 from $48 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing 2026 for Paper & Forest Products. 2025 was a challenging year for much of the forest products group, and with demand conditions seemingly remaining tepid into early 2026, the firm continues to prefer exposure to names where a supply response has either already played out to a significant degree - such as the containerboard group - or is seemingly in progress - such as lumber producers, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
