Goldman Sachs maintained a Buy rating on Armstrong World Industries (NYSE: AWI) and raised its price target to $65.00 (from $60.00).

Analyst Eli Hackel said, "We recently met with Armstrong senior management at its headquarters. We reiterate our Buy with a view that active portfolio management combined with business improvement should drive share outperformance. We raise our 12-month price target to $65 from $60 as management indicated the strategic alternatives of its European flooring business will hopefully be completed by year-end, US GDP (which has a correlation with broad demand) should remain in 3+% territory (we would note solid ISM and construction spending prints today) and wood prices have stabilized, which could indicate an upside to wood margins."
