JPMorgan analyst Michael Rehaut upgraded Whirlpool (WHR) to Overweight from Neutral and raised his price target for the shares to $172 from $155. The analyst expects U.S. industry shipments to be more stable year-over-year through the end of 2019 and show "modest" growth in 2020. Further, he thinks point to steel prices will remain "at bay" and that Whirlpool's European operations will "finally" turn a small profit in the second half of 2019. In addition, Rehaut views the stock's valuation as inexpensive. The analyst this morning also downgraded Beacon Roofing Supply (BECN) to Underweight from Neutral. His top picks in the Building Products sector remain Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) and Fortune Brands (FBHS).
