WFG-T +4.19%increase is no exception, off more than 15 per cent year-to-date. When it reported first-quarter results, West Fraser noted it has experienced transportation and logistics constraints in North America.

Meanwhile, during the recent sell-off an officer bought 2,568 shares in the public market on June 17.
