| theflyonthewall.com: | Hot Stocks story about LPX | | Louisiana Pacific (LPX) is showing signs of strength in a weak market this morning after D.A. Davidson upgraded shares of the company from Neutral to Buy. The firm upgraded the stock based on the combination of a pullback in share price and the belief that the residential real estate markets might be bottoming. Although D.A. Davidson upgraded the shares of Louisiana-Pacific, they are not unequivocally recommending all housing related stocks. The firm "staunchly" believes that Louisiana-Pacific's underlying assets are more valuable than the share price and that the company will survive the down cycle. Shares of Louisiana Pacific are up 36c, or 10%, to $3.94. :theflyonthewall.com |
