Jewett-Cameron Trading Company reported a net loss of $1.2M for Q2 2026, translating to a diluted loss of $0.35 per share as the specialty products distributor grappled with profitability challenges despite stronger sales. The loss per share widened sharply from $0.16 in the year-ago quarter, a 118.8% increase that underscores mounting operational headwinds.
Revenue climbed to $10.5M for the quarter, up 16.0% from the $9.1M recorded in Q2 2025. The company, which supplies fencing, lawn and garden products, and industrial wood products primarily in the Pacific Northwest, posted a gross margin of 15.7% for the period. The revenue gain reflects continued demand across the company’s core product lines, though the improving top line wasn’t sufficient to offset rising costs and other operational pressures.
Jewett-Cameron operated with 3,520,113 common shares outstanding at quarter end. The company has historically maintained a lean operational structure serving contractors, retailers, and farm and ranch customers through its distribution network. The widening loss comes as the specialty distribution sector faces headwinds from freight costs, inventory management challenges, and competitive pricing dynamics in commodity-adjacent product categories.
