Evercore ISI analyst Stephen Kim lowered the firm’s price target on Owens Corning (OC) to $153 from $169 and keeps an In Line rating on the shares. Homebuilder stocks rallied this summer in anticipation that falling mortgage rates would stimulate a rebound in housing demand and a bottoming in fundamentals, but a meaningful demand response has not yet emerged despite modestly improved affordability, the analyst tells investors. The firm believes margins must bottom before homebuilder stocks can rerate and it does not believe that this will happen in the next several months, the analyst added.
