Credit Suisse analyst Susan Maklari lowered her price target for Owens Corning to $47 from $57 saying that the company's Q3 results further her Neutral rating stance. Although pricing over the last several quarters-especially in roofing and insulation-allowed it to catch up with inflation, volumes across geographies were below expectations, she contends. Maklari also notes that the outlook for more subdued activity through the end of 2018 is also limiting upside to results.

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.
