On Friday, Oppenheimer adjusted its price target for Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE:CSL (OTC:CSLLY)), a global manufacturer of commercial roofing and other industrial products. The firm's analyst set the new price target at $495.00, a decrease from the previous target of $505.00, while continuing to recommend the stock as Outperform.
The revision follows a period of market analysis, including recent channel checks that indicated a slower pace in November project activity. The adjustment also takes into account the recent acquisition of Plasti-Fab, which became part of Carlisle's Construction Materials (CWT) segment following the deal's completion on December 18, 2024.
Despite the potential for softer demand in the CWT segment and the possibility of continued challenges into early 2025, the analyst's outlook remains optimistic. Positive commentary on commercial roofing backlogs and the anticipation of robust re-roofing activity in the upcoming construction season were highlighted as reasons for the maintained Outperform rating.
The analyst noted that Carlisle's valuation is still considered strong, particularly in light of the stock's recent performance, which saw a 14% decline over the past three months, contrasting with a 3% rise in the S&P 500 during the same period. The fundamentals of the company's Construction Materials segment, expected double-digit earnings per share growth in 2025, and the potential benefits from the Plasti-Fab integration were cited as supportive factors for the stock.
Furthermore, Carlisle's financial position, with more than $2 billion in available funds for strategic uses, was mentioned as a significant factor that could lead to additional value creation for shareholders.
