Deltic Timber is actually the best company in the sector, but the problem is this is one of the last sectors you want to be anywhere near right now. Although DEL operates in many market segments, nearly all facets of construction are seeing somewhere between a minor and a major pullback. We've seen a huge downturn in housing construction and even business construction remains tame at best. This is already trading at 54 times trailing earnings and posts a price to book of 3.3 which is far and away the highest in a sector averaging closer to 2. Everything here is pointing toward downward pressure on the stock over the next year.

Deltic is absolutely the worst timber company. I don't like Potlatch or Plum Creek at these prices either but Deltic is much worse.
