Stella-Jones Inc. provided earnings guidance for 2021. For the year, the Company is projecting 2021 sales growth of 15% to low 20% range compared to 2020. The projected 2021 sales for utility poles, railways ties and industrial products remain unchanged. Utility poles sales are expected to increase in the mid to high-single digit range compared to 2020, due to sustained healthy replacement demand, including an increase in value-added fire-resistant wrapped pole sales, while railway ties and industrial product sales are projected to be relatively comparable to those generated in 2020. For residential lumber, sales are now forecasted to increase in the range of 45% to 65% compared to 2020, driven by the current trend of higher pricing, which is projected to continue during the seasonal peak demand period for this product category.
