On June 29, The Wall Street Journal reported that Carlisle Companies (CSL) had made Equity

multiple unsolicited acquisition offers for Owens Corning (OC). OC shares initially rallied United States

~15% on the news, much of that gain has since been retraced, though the stock has still Homebuilders and Building Products

outperformed peers. The reported interest reinforces our view that the market continues Rafe Jadrosich

to undervalue OC's portfolio, particularly its Roofing business, which generates roughly Research Analyst

60% of company EBITDA and benefits from strong pricing power, resilient margins, and BofAS+1 646 855 5815

differentiated contractor relationships. We expect OC to realize approximately 3-4% of rafe.jadrosich@bofa.com

the April roofing price increase and 2-3% of the June increase. In addition, we believe Shaun Calnan, CFA

announced price actions. We adjust our estimates to better reflect the timing of roofing +1 646 855 1362
