Rayonier ( (RYN) ) just unveiled an update.
On January 27, 2026, Rayonier shareholders approved the issuance of new common shares needed to complete the company’s merger with PotlatchDeltic, with sufficient votes cast at a special meeting to render an adjournment proposal unnecessary; on the same day, both companies disclosed that their respective stockholders had cleared all merger-related proposals. The stock-and-cash transaction, expected to close after the market close on January 30, 2026 subject to customary conditions, will see each PotlatchDeltic share converted into 1.8185 Rayonier shares plus $0.61 in cash, leaving existing Rayonier investors with about 54% of the enlarged timber REIT and former PotlatchDeltic holders with 46%, with the combined company initially retaining the Rayonier name and NYSE ticker before rebranding later in the first quarter of 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (RYN) stock is a Buy with a $27.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rayonier stock, see the RYN Stock Forecast page.
