Owens Corning (OC) & Beacon Roofing Supply (BECN)
Materials
Residential roofing checks reveal very strong start to 2022 - 1Q22 SSS growth expectation is 20-25% (Feb was insane with most contacts suggesting SSS up 40%+; Jan & Mar both likely grew 15-25%). Contacts suggest the Jan price increase is gaining solid traction and many think the Apr increase is going to be huge. Inflation is the offset which keeps getting worse, but the industry has benefited from inflation and Northcoast thinks this can continue. Overall, they view their checks favourably for manufacturers and distributors and raise their full year estimates for OC and BECN.
