Read MoreHide Full Article
Boise Cascade Company (BCC - Free Report) reported mixed first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and sales topping the same. On a year-over-year basis, both top and bottom lines declined.
The company's quarterly performance was mainly marred by lower selling prices and sales volumes across the products it manufactures and distributes. Operations were also impacted by weak demand, unfavorable weather and scheduled downtime at the Oakdale mill.
Going forward, the company plans to stay flexible as market conditions evolve through the second quarter. A strong balance sheet supports continued investments aligned with long-term trends in residential construction.
BCC stock edged down 1.6% in yesterday’s after-hours trading session, after the earnings announcement.
