****

The Company manufactures and sells fine paper, including uncoated free sheet and coated groundwood.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Domtar produces paper products, some wood products, and manages timber. The industry has consolidated and is having some success in passing along energy costs now.

Good fundamentals, insider accumulation. Tightening supply in the uncoated fresh sheet market will bring increased revenues and profits to Domtar. When Comifex deal goes through (eventually.....!) later this year earnings will get a big boost. Rebounding dollar will also boost price.

The merger between old Domtar and the fine paper division of Weyerhauser is not going well.











Even if the two companies were selling paper, the 2 business models were different- production, distribution, supply chain, etc. Aligning the two will take time and huge amount of money supposing they know which direction they going and what will the operational model. The CEO and COO are only focusing on the current merger, there is no-one planing for the future since they will be both retiring in a year or two. There is no clear plan, for example, how to bank in on the current US dollar depreciation and starting massive exports and distribution throughout Europe. The market is only shrinking and they do continue to do same things, the old way. How do you expect you will make profits with this company?
