We rate RYAM a strong buy with a $10 price target, citing a rare risk/reward skew as distress-level valuation ignores a specialty cellulose recovery. Specialty cellulose margins are expanding due to mix shifts, pricing power, and operational discipline, with EBITDA set to rise despite near-term volume headwinds. The market underappreciates RYAM's biomaterials and bioethanol ramp, which offers structural earnings growth and regulatory tailwinds, yet receives minimal valuation credit.

I maintain my Buy rating on Rayonier; the company is a potential winner in the ongoing trade war and it could adopt value-enhancing capital allocation initiatives. Given its geographical concentration in the U.S., RYN stands to benefit from tariffs on specific lumber imports. The pending sale of its New Zealand JV stake will unlock significant cash, enabling debt reduction and shareholder returns.

RYN's Q1 earnings reflect a decline in pro-forma operating income from its Southern Timber and Real Estate segments.

WTBA, RYN and THFF made it to the Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) income stocks list on April 29, 2025.
RYN is likely to gain from its geographical diversity, long-term value of HBU development, and recent developments in the field of biogenetics and cloning.
To focus on core U.S. markets, RYN is set to sell its entire 77% stake in its New Zealand joint venture to The Rohatyn Group's Ents LP fund.
