KeyBanc downgraded Armstrong World Industries (NYSE: AWI) from Buy to Hold.
KeyBanc analyst said, "We downgrade Armstrong to HOLD with shares fully valued, reflecting 17% EBITDA growth in 2012 and 14% in 2013. We think cost savings and price remain effective tools for growing profits despite continued input inflation, but we see limited upside to our estimates until meaningful improvement is seen in its nonresidential end markets. AWI shares trade at 7.4x our unchanged 2013 EBITDA of $502 million vs. our prior 7.1x target multiple."
