As reported earlier, Goldman Sachs analyst Doug Clark downgraded Jeld-Wen from Buy to Neutral as part of his broader research note on stocks with exposure to the "lumpy" housing sector. The analyst believes that there is "ample room for margin expansion", but adds that his prior initiation on the stock at Buy was likely premature since that expansion will not "contribute meaningfully to earnings until 2020". Clark further states that the positive catalyst he expected from Jeld-Wen's "announcement of a restructuring and some further visibility on the Steves litigation" will take longer to play out than he anticipated.
