Weyerhaeuser (WY)

Weyerhaeuser Company Tuesday said it will convert to a real estate investment trust (REIT)structure, saying the conversion will position it to be more competitive in its timberlands business.
Analysts say the move to a REIT will cut Weyerhaeuser's tax burden and give its investors higher returns. The company would still trade on an exchange and would be required to pay out most income to shareholders.
