Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF (Symbol: IWS), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $145.55 per unit.
With IWS trading at a recent price near $131.52 per unit, that means that analysts see 10.67% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of IWS's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Rayonier Inc. (Symbol: RYN), Grand Canyon Education Inc (Symbol: LOPE), and EastGroup Properties Inc (Symbol: EGP). Although RYN has traded at a recent price of $22.12/share, the average analyst target is 31.10% higher at $29.00/share. Similarly, LOPE has 14.72% upside from the recent share price of $189.45 if the average analyst target price of $217.33/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting EGP to reach a target price of $187.72/share, which is 12.04% above the recent price of $167.55. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of RYN, LOPE, and EGP:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Add Up The Pieces: IWS Could Be Worth $146

Investors in Rayonier Inc. (Symbol: RYN) saw new options begin trading today, for the February 2026 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 247 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the RYN options chain for the new February 2026 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $20.00 strike price has a current bid of 85 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $20.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $19.15 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of RYN, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $22.60/share today.
Because the $20.00 strike represents an approximate 12% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 73%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 4.25% return on the cash commitment, or 6.28% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Rayonier Inc., and highlighting in green where the $20.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $25.00 strike price has a current bid of 90 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of RYN stock at the current price level of $22.60/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $25.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 14.60% if the stock gets called away at the February 2026 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if RYN shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Rayonier Inc., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing RYN's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $25.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $25.00 strike represents an approximate 11% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 66%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.98% boost of extra return to the investor, or 5.88% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example, as well as the call contract example, are both approximately 27%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $22.60) to be 24%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

RYN February 2026 Options Begin Trading

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Rayonier Inc. (Symbol: RYN) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Rayonier Inc. an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Thursday, shares of RYN entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $23.035 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Rayonier Inc., the RSI reading has hit 29.5 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 52.8. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, RYN's recent annualized dividend of 1.09/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 4.46% based upon the recent $24.46 share price.
A bullish investor could look at RYN's 29.5 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on RYN is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Rayonier Enters Oversold Territory

Weyerhaeuser (WY) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.16 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
A quarter ago, it was expected that this timber and paper products company would post earnings of $0.07 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.11, delivering a surprise of 57.14%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Weyerhaeuser, which belongs to the Zacks Building Products - Wood industry, posted revenues of $1.76 billion for the quarter ended March 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.65%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.8 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Weyerhaeuser shares have lost about 10.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -8.6%.
What's Next for Weyerhaeuser?
While Weyerhaeuser has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Weyerhaeuser: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.21 on $1.96 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.71 on $7.48 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Building Products - Wood is currently in the bottom 24% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Rayonier (RYN), is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2025. The results are expected to be released on April 30.
This forest products company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Rayonier's revenues are expected to be $157 million, down 6.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Weyerhaeuser (WY) Meets Q1 Earnings Estimates

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Rayonier Inc. (Symbol: RYN) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Rayonier Inc. an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Monday, shares of RYN entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $23.53 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Rayonier Inc., the RSI reading has hit 26.2 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 29.5. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, RYN's recent annualized dividend of 1.09/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 4.35% based upon the recent $25.04 share price.
A bullish investor could look at RYN's 26.2 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on RYN is its dividend history.

Rayonier Becomes Oversold

Weyerhaeuser Company (WY), with a market cap of $21.1 billion, is one of the leading U.S. forest product companies with operations primarily concentrated in Southern California, Nevada, Washington, Texas, Maryland and Virginia. Founded in 1900, the company caters to a diverse clientele spread over the United States and internationally.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks," WY fits this bill perfectly. As one of the biggest lumber suppliers in the U.S., the company benefits from approximately 11 million acres of timberlands in the United States and Canada.

How Is Weyerhaeuser’s Stock Performance Compared to Other Timber Stocks?

Shares of Rayonier, Inc. RYN have gained 9.6% in the past month against the industry’s decline of 2.5%.
This Timberland real estate investment trust (REIT), carrying Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), is poised to gain by unlocking the long-term value of its higher-and-better-use (HBU) development. Recent developments in biogenetics and cloning keep the company’s momentum going. Its healthy balance sheet bodes well for long-term growth.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Let us decipher the possible factors behind the surge in the stock price.
Rayonier enjoys a solid timberland portfolio in some of the most productive timber-growing regions of the U.S. South, the Pacific Northwest and New Zealand. The company has emerged as the leading “Pure Play” timber REIT. As of Dec. 31, 2024, its portfolio included 1.75 million acres in the U.S. South, 308,000 acres in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and 412,000 gross acres in New Zealand. Over the past several years, lumber production and capacity in the U.S. South have grown considerably. With roughly 71% of the company’s Southern timberlands located in the top quartile markets, the company is well-poised to benefit from the favorable trend.
This month, Rayonier announced an agreement to sell its 77% New Zealand joint venture interest to a special purpose vehicle formed by Ents LP, an investment fund managed by The Rohatyn Group, for $710 million. The exit will allow the company to focus on core U.S. markets. The transaction is expected to close in 2025.
Rayonier constantly strives to find alternative uses of the timberlands for HBU. There are many attractive HBU opportunities across the U.S. South, mainly in the Florida and Georgia coastal corridors. The company remains focused on unlocking the long-term value of its HBU development and rural property portfolio in its Real Estate segment. It is encouraged by the continued strong demand and value realizations for HBU properties. Its current pipeline expects another solid year for both its rural land sales program and its improved development projects.
The company’s business has significantly benefited from the recent developments in the field of biogenetics and cloning, which have led to faster growth in trees, ensuring proper sizes for maximum extraction of wood.
Rayonier’s strategic measures have significantly strengthened its balance sheet position. The company reported cash and cash equivalents of $323.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The weighted average maturity of its debt portfolio was approximately four years, with no significant debt maturities until 2026. With a well-staggered debt maturity profile, Rayonier has ample financial flexibility to navigate through any negative externalities and bank on growth scopes.
With the above-mentioned factors, we believe the rising trend in the stock is expected to continue in the near term.
Key Risks for RYN
Competition from national and local players and substitutes, as well as Pacific Northwest market headwinds, may hurt Rayonier. Tough compliance requirements and elevated interest rates add to its woes.

Rayonier Stock Rises 9.6% in a Month: Will the Trend Continue?

Rayonier Inc. (Symbol: RYN) has been named as a Top 10 Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), according to Dividend Channel, which published its most recent ''DividendRank'' report. The report noted that among REITs, RYN shares displayed both attractive valuation metrics and strong profitability metrics. For example, the recent RYN share price of $27.94 represents a price-to-book ratio of 2.3 and an annual dividend yield of 3.90% — by comparison, the average stock in Dividend Channel's coverage universe yields 3.3% and trades at a price-to-book ratio of 3.4. The report also cited the strong quarterly dividend history at Rayonier Inc., and favorable long-term multi-year growth rates in key fundamental data points.
The report stated, ''Dividend investors approaching investing from a value standpoint are generally most interested in researching the strongest most profitable companies, that also happen to be trading at an attractive valuation. That's what we aim to find using our proprietary DividendRank formula, which ranks the coverage universe based upon our various criteria for both profitability and valuation, to generate a list of the top most 'interesting' stocks, meant for investors as a source of ideas that merit further research.''
REITs hold a special place in the hearts of dividend investors, because they must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income each year to shareholders as dividends. While this can make for a high dividend yield, it also introduces some volatility and uncertainty into the level of payments from year to year — huge dividend payouts are common when a REIT turns large profits, versus smaller payouts or even periods of no dividends in times of losses.
The current annualized dividend paid by Rayonier Inc. is $1.09/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 03/17/2025. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for RYN, which the report stressed as being of key importance. Indeed, studying a company's past dividend history can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Why Rayonier Is a Top 10 REIT Stock With 3.90% Yield (RYN)

Rayonier Inc. RYN recently announced an agreement to sell the entities holding its entire 77% stake in the New Zealand joint venture (JV) to a special purpose vehicle formed by Ents LP, an investment fund managed by The Rohatyn Group (“TRG”) for $710 million. The transaction, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, is expected to close in 2025.
Rayonier’s exit from New Zealand will reduce the company’s exposure to log export markets and enable it to simplify and streamline its portfolio, financial reporting and overall value proposition. It will also allow the company to focus on core U.S. markets with favorable long-term growth prospects.
The transaction will position the New Zealand business to drive new growth as it benefits from TRG’s extensive experience managing similar assets in New Zealand and around the world.
Details of the Transaction
The sales price implies an enterprise value of $922 million for the New Zealand JV, which manages nearly 287,000 productive acres of timberlands as of Dec. 31, 2024.
Rayonier expects the transaction to be modestly accretive to pro forma CAD per share and reduce pro forma Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to nearly 0.3X, before factoring in any capital redeployment.
Rayonier intends to use the transaction proceeds to further reduce leverage, return capital to shareholders, reinvest in synergistic acquisitions, and/or fund other capital allocation priorities.
Post transaction, Rayonier anticipates paying a special dividend for 2025 between $1.00 to $1.40 per share, the details of which will be announced later in this year. This special dividend is projected to be paid in a combination of cash and shares.
Management Commentary
Per Mark McHugh, president and CEO of Rayonier, “Since introducing our asset disposition and capital structure realignment plan in November 2023, we have now completed or announced pending dispositions totaling $1.45 billion—significantly exceeding our original $1 billion target. The success of this plan has allowed us to significantly reduce leverage, return capital to shareholders, and generate CAD and NAV per share accretion while also leaving us better positioned to create long-term value for our shareholders going forward.”
Conclusion
As evidenced by Rayonier’s substantial dispositions completed in the last two years, this transaction is in line with the company’s previously stated goal of enhancing shareholder value by capitalizing on the disconnect between public and private timberland values and reducing leverage amid an elevated interest rate environment.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have declined 4.8% over the past three months compared with the industry’s decline of 9.6%.
