Global Hunter Securities initiates coverage on Encore Wire (NASDAQ: WIRE) with a Accumulate. PT $30.00.

Global analyst said, "While the company is trading at the low end of its historic valuation range based on price/book metrics, we are concerned about near-term construction-related demand visibility and the impact of increasingly volatile commodity copper prices. In addition, we believe that the US economy continues to face significant uncertainty, potentially on the precipice of a protracted recession/depressionary period, coupled with credit markets largely still attempting to recover from the bursting of the previous real estate bubble. In this scenario we would encourage investors to build a position in WIRE on macro-related weakness as we see the company as well positioned to weather economic uncertainty and to emerge from any potentially weak near-term period successfully. We are initiating coverage of Encore Wire Corp. with an Accumulate."
