Barclays analyst Matthew Bouley downgraded Fortune Brands Home & Security to Underweight from Equal Weight and lowered his price target for the shares to $44 from $45. Cabinets generates 30% of Fortune Brands' operating income while "value" cabinetry is the highest margin business within the segment, Bouley tells investors in a research note. The analyst believes the latter is likely the area to directly compete with the Chinese. While the recent history of cabinets underperformance has been visible, the effects of Chinese import acceleration "can still drive a more meaningful disruption to growth and profitability," contends the analyst. Bouley examined the history of low-cost building product import disruption in the U.S. ahead of a potential trade resolution with China and concluded that most building products are "vulnerable to disruption over time."
