Longbow analyst Garik Shmois has increased confidence in his above consensus estimates for Q2 due to better than expected roofing demand and pricing, lower asphalt costs, and potential conservative composites guidance that more than offsets transition in insulation. The analyst raised Owens' Q2 earnings estimate to 90c from 87c, versus consensus 84c, FY16 to $3.30 from $3.25, versus consensus of $3.03, and FY17 to $3.85 from $3.80, versus consensus of $3.50. Shmois rates Owens Corning a Buy with a $60 price target.

RBC Capital raised the firm's price target on Owens Corning to $192 from $175 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company's Q1 results saw another strong margin result in Roofing, with incremental pricing gains in Roofing/Insulation driving further upside while more than offsetting ongoing Composites weakness, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC adds that it continues to see strength supported by lean channel inventories and solid sell-through even as comps become more difficult.
