- Monday, April 22, 1:44 PM USG (USG +2%-) gets a boost today after Credit Suisse ups the shares to Neutral on valuation and raises its price target from $22 to $27. The firm says recent checks of the wallboard market indicate that price increases appear to be sticking with no significant impact to sales volume, although distributors who deal more with commercial/non-residential markets have yet to see meaningful volume improvement. It's anticipating stronger trends as the year progresses, with wallboard pricing of +20% in FY13 and +8% in FY14. 1 Comment [On the Move, Consumer, Commodities]
- Monday, March 25, 2:22 PM The steep afternoon drop in shares of USG (USG -5.5%) and Eagle Materials (EGLE -2.2%) is tied to a research note by analysts at Cleveland Research, which says its checks showed slippage in wallboard pricing, especially in the eastern U.S. Shares had plunged 9.2% and 4.5%, respectively, at their lowest points about an hour ago. 10 Comments [On the Move]

- Thursday, October 18, 2012, 8:51 AM More on USG: Drywall sales of 1.20 BSF up 14.3% Y/Y. Realized selling price of $131.97 vs. $132.09 in Q2, $111.16 a year ago. Operating profit swings to a $32M gain from a $20M loss a year ago. "Wallboard demand remains significantly below historical averages," says CEO James Metcalf. Shares -5% premarket after pricing in housing market nirvana with their 124% gain YTD. (PR) Comment! [U.S. Economy, On the Move]

USG -4.3% premarket, OC -2% premarket. (h/t Marc Lehman) Comment! [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
