Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Materials Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately&nbsp;$239 million, approximately&nbsp;$315 million&nbsp;available under its revolving credit facilities and aggregate liquidity of about&nbsp;$554 million.
Mr. Juan Carlos Bueno, Chief Executive Officer, stated: &quot;We continued to see strength in softwood pulp markets with relatively flat fiber costs in the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;of 2024. However, our operating results for the quarter were constrained due to the occurrence of several unrelated events that impacted pulp production, including the previously announced unscheduled downtime of 23 days (approximately 35,500 ADMTs) at our Mercer Peace River mill, a slower than normal maintenance start-up and other production upsets at our Stendal Mill (approximately 26,500 ADMTs) and isolated mechanical incidents at our Celgar mill (approximately 9,200 ADMTs).
Our team was able to restart the Mercer Peace River mill slightly earlier than initially planned, limiting&nbsp;the resulting downtime in the&nbsp;fourth quarter&nbsp;to about 12 days. We have no remaining downtime planned at our pulp mills for the&nbsp;fourth quarter&nbsp;of 2024.&quot;
Mr. Bueno concluded: &quot;With the impacts of the unscheduled downtime events behind us, we are optimistic that we are strongly positioned to capitalize on the continued strength in NBSK markets across our pulp mills for the remainder of 2024.&quot;

Canada&#8217;s railway strike could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/08/40497103/strikes-at-us-ports-canadas-railways-may-cause-container-freight-rate-volatility">have major impacts </a>on various sectors and companies in the U.S. that rely on goods and commodities from the second-largest company in the world.
Canadian National Railway&nbsp;Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNI#NYSE">CNI</a>) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) said they locked out their workers and shut their networks in Canada early on Thursday after labor negotiations with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference failed to result in a new union contract, Reuters reported.
Canada uses railways extensively to export grain, automobiles, potash, coal and other goods that are sold by companies &#8212; about $277 billion worth annually.
Thursday&#8217;s stoppage by these two Canadian railways could prove to be a major shock to U.S. companies and sectors because of the amount of goods and commodities they carry in North America.
Canadian National Railway Company operates 20,000 miles of railroad that spans the entire width of Canada and follows the Mississippi River all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Canadian Pacific Kansas City also runs a 20,000-mile network that covers Canada from east to west but also travels down through the U.S. and into Mexico.
