Wedbush initiated coverage on Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $50.00.

"While the stock is subject to the gyrations (timing and pace) of the new residential construction and residential repair and remodel (R&R) cycle, we believe OC’s earnings profile can continue to benefit from its three-legged stool: (i) strong positioning and rational pricing within the Roofing segment supports EBIT margin of 18-22% in the current cycle; (ii) capacity rationalization, 5-7% organic growth in global glass fiber market and pricing can expand Compositemargin 500-600 bps by mid-2015; and (iii) price cadence of 10-15% should reinforce return to profitability within the Insulation business in CY14," wrote analyst Al Kaschalk.
