Barclays downgraded Armstrong World Industries (NYSE: AWI) from Overweight to Equalweight with a price target of $48.00 (from $50.00).
Analyst, Stephen Kim, said, "We are moderating our near-term outlook on the Building Products stocks, particularly to the degree that they are exposed to discretionary remodeling activity. Despite mounting evidence that increased home buying is driving a positive feedback loop in housing markets across the country, this strength has not extended to the remodeling sector to the degree we had expected."
Kim remains more positive on a long-term basis, citing an eventual recovery restoring confidence in discretionary remodeling.
