01:00 AM EDT, 07/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We maintain our Buy rating on AMRZ, due to a compelling valuation opportunity as the stock trades at a severe discount to peers despite comparable end-market exposure and superior competitive positioning. The company's market-leading positions as North America's largest cement producer and #2 commercial roofing company create defensive moats that justify peer-level valuations, yet the market appears to overly discount the recent spin-off. While synchronized construction weakness creates near-term headwinds across the sector, AMRZ's exceptional valuation discount offers attractive risk-adjusted returns should fundamentals stabilize. We lift our 12-month target price by $3 to $60, on an EV/EBITDA of 13.0x our 2025 EBITDA estimate, in line with weighted peer averages based on end-market similarity: EXP (9.6x, 25.3% weight), VMC (15.8x, 25.3% weight), MLM (15.1x, 30.8% weight), and CRH (10.2x, 18.6% weight). We lower our 2025 EPS estimate by $0.28 to $2.35 and 2026 by $0.04 to $2.98 to reflect sector headwinds.
