  "Weyerhaeuser, to focus on core businesses"

Top Contributor: Dan Pan | Created when NYSE:WY was $81.40 | Edit | History

In 2006, the company sold its fine paper business to Domtar, a Canadian pulp and paper company. The transaction gave Weyerhaeuser $1.35 billion in cash, which it used to pay off debt, in addition to stock in the new merged company. Although this reduces the company's business diversity, many industry analysts praise the Domtar transaction as a well-executed move to streamline business and raise cash.
