DA Davidson has published a research report on Plum Creek Timber Company PCL and has downgraded the company from Buy to Neutral after the company reported 1Q earnings.
In the report, DA Davidson writes, "As has been the case in previous quarters, the choppy timing of land sales contributed to the
shortfall in earnings, with some of the deferred land sales being pushed out into future quarters. With Plum Creek reiterating its full year
guidance, we are adjusting our quarterly estimates slightly but maintaining our full year outlook in what remains a slow but steady
demand environment.As has been the case in previous quarters, the choppy timing of land sales contributed to the
