The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Feb. 25, edition that National Bank Financial analyst Zachary Evershed is sticking with his "outperform" recommendation for Doman Building Materials Group. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Evershed elevated his share target by a loonie to $12. Analysts on average target the shares at $11.25. Mr. Evershed expects Doman to benefit from improving lumber market trends when it reports its fourth quarter 2025 results on March 5. Mr. Evershed says in a note: "Lumber cash markets have strengthened, reflecting more of a seller's market with tighter inventory and somewhat better demand as we note recent gains in East [Southern Yellow Pine] and West [Spruce Pine Fir] pricing in December and January. Through December and January, E-SYP rose 41.4 per cent to $495 per thousand board feet, while W-SPF increased 19.5 per cent to $460 per thousand board feet. Though February is more mixed, we take a more constructive near-term view given the overall higher level, raising our organic growth forecasts in Q4/25 and out to Q2/26." The Globe reported on May 13 and Oct. 29 that Mr. Evershed had reaffirmed his "outperform" call for Doman. It was then worth $8.53 and $8.65.
