Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (NYSE:LPX) reported mixed third-quarter 2025 results on Wednesday, with earnings missing analyst estimates but revenue coming in slightly ahead of expectations. The stock edged up 0.6% in premarket trading following the announcement.
The building materials producer posted adjusted earnings of $0.36 per share, narrowly missing consensus projections of $0.38 per share. Quarterly revenue totaled $663 million, marginally above the expected $661 million, though it marked a decline from the $755 million reported in the previous quarter.
While the modest revenue beat helped soften the disappointment over weaker earnings, investor reaction remained muted, suggesting the results were largely priced in.
Louisiana-Pacific has been contending with a challenging construction market, reflected in a series of downward revisions to forecasts. Over the past three months, analysts have lowered full-year 2025 revenue estimates from $2.87 billion to $2.78 billion, and earnings expectations from $4.31 to $2.68 per share.
The results follow a mixed second quarter, when the company exceeded revenue expectations by 2.25% but fell short on earnings by 30%.
Despite these headwinds, Wall Street remains cautiously optimistic. Analysts maintain an average price target of $109.10 per share, implying an upside potential of roughly 27% from current trading levels — signaling confidence in the company’s long-term fundamentals despite near-term pressure.
