Potlatch (NASDAQ:PCH)Deltic Corporation, which trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker PCH, is a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership and sustainable management of timberland. Headquartered in Spokane, Washington, the company holds approximately two million acres of forested land across the United States. Its integrated business model combines timberland stewardship with manufacturing and marketing of wood products to serve residential, agricultural and industrial markets.
In its timberland segment, PotlatchDeltic focuses on responsible forest management practices, including reforestation, habitat conservation and wildfire mitigation. The company harvests softwood and hardwood species for sale as saw logs, pulpwood and biomass. Through its wood products division, PotlatchDeltic operates lumber and plywood facilities in the Pacific Northwest, producing dimensional lumber, oriented strand board (OSB) and other engineered wood products destined for construction and industrial end-users.
Tracing its roots to the founding of Potlatch Forests, Inc. in 1903, the company expanded steadily throughout the 20th century before merging with Deltic Timber Corporation in 2018 to form today’s PotlatchDeltic. This strategic combination broadened its geographic footprint and diversified its product offerings, reinforcing its position as one of the largest timber REITs in the United States.
PotlatchDeltic’s landholdings span the Pacific Northwest—particularly Idaho, Oregon and Washington—and the U.S. South, including Mississippi and Arkansas. Its leadership team comprises forestry, manufacturing and financial professionals with decades of experience in land-asset management. The company continues to pursue a balanced approach to growth, emphasizing sustainable yield, cost discipline and long-term value creation for its stakeholders.
