When hunting for companies in the wood-based products business, I found that those in Bursa Malaysia are mainly in the furniture sector. But many in the US are in the building materials sector. This is because in the US, most houses are timber-based whereas in Malaysia, most houses are brick and cement based. For example, Bursa Malaysia Dominan manufactures and sells engineered wood mouldings and laminated wood panel products worldwide. But is classified as in the furniture sector. On the other hand, NYSE Boise Cascade is one of the largest producers of engineered wood products and plywood in North America. Boise Cascade business is heavily influenced by the US housing sector. When I compared the ROE trends for the past decade, I found that they shared about the same returns in the first half of the period. But Boise Cascade return in the second half shot up. But this was driven mostly by the past 2 years' outlier product prices, which have since declined. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J--jjPbrc6I
