Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
Owens Corning Inc's Q2 FY23 results beat expectations, leading RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Dahl to upgrade the company's rating to Outperform from Sector Perform and raise the price target from $135 to $168. Despite a 1.5% YoY decrease in net sales to $2.56 billion, the figure surpassed the consensus of $2.54 billion. Adjusted EPS was $4.22, above the consensus of $3.23. Dahl sees a more resilient Owens Corning going forward, with price/cost tailwinds in Roofing/Insulation and improved volume outlooks. He also raised FY23 and FY24 sales estimates.
