Louisiana-Pacific (ISIN US5463471053) faces a lower analyst target after Royal Bank of Canada cut its view from USD 92.00 to USD 84.00 on October 16, 2026, while keeping an Outperform rating, MarketBeat reported. Louisiana-Pacific stock was trading at EUR 64.13 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 7:03 p.m. CEST.

Analyst target moves to USD 84.00

The RBC revision leaves a USD 8.00 gap between the former and current target. Its Outperform rating remains in place, but the new target is below the USD 89.50 consensus target cited by MarketBeat on October 16, 2026. That combination gives investors two contrasting signals: the named analyst reduced the target, while the broader analyst average stayed higher.

MarketBeat also reported that 12 analysts rated Louisiana-Pacific Buy, two rated it Hold, and one rated it Sell on October 16, 2026. The analyst count provides a more detailed picture than the consensus label alone, because it shows that the positive majority coexists with lower individual targets.

Second-quarter revenue fell 12.10 percent

Louisiana-Pacific reported second-quarter revenue of USD 664.00 million, down 12.10 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to MarketBeat. Reported earnings per share came to USD 0.40 against a USD 0.56 consensus estimate, a USD 0.16 shortfall. The figures describe the latest completed quarter and remain the key operating comparison before the next report.
