Goldman Sachs added Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY) to its Conviction Buy List with a price target of $25, suggesting 22% potential upside.

The firm cited: "(1) its leverage to the nascent US housing recovery, (2) the stock’s historical positive correlation to US housing starts, and lumber prices, which are both up well ahead of WY shares YTD, and (3) favorable wood products prices, which we believe are sustainable through 3Q, and we expect will drive consensus 2Q and 2012 estimates higher."
