MOST NOTEWORTHY: The only company that topped today's list of initiations was Armstrong World Industries Inc (NYSE: AWI).
  • Oppenheimer initiated Armstrong, whom they consider a relatively undiscovered, asbestos-related post-bankruptcy company, with a Buy rating and $55 target. They believe Armstrong could aggressively deliver its already conservative balance sheet and ultimately repurchase shares.
OTHER INITIATIONS:
  • General Motors Corp (NYSE: GM) was reinstated at Morgan Stanley with an Equal-Weight rating.
  • Cowen initiated Level 3 Communications Inc (NASDAQ: LVLT) with an Outperform rating.
