Zacks reaffirmed their neutral rating on shares of Beacon Roofing Supply (NASDAQ: BECN) in a research note released on Wednesday morning. They currently have a $41.00 price target on the stock.

Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Beacon Roofing’s first-quarter 2013 earnings were $0.37 per share, down 5% year over year. Revenues increased 5% to $514 million, benefiting from the positive impact of several acquisitions completed since the start of last year, offset by lower average residential roofing selling prices. . Beacon Roofing’s acquisition pipeline remains active and we expect the acquisitions to continue at an accelerated pace in the near term. Moreover, both residential and non-residential construction sectors are showing signs of improvement, which bodes well for the company. However, risks remain in the form of difficult comparisons ahead, seasonally weak second quarter and the company’s inability to pass on the raw material inflation to customers. We maintain our Neutral recommendation on Beacon Roofing with a target price of $41.”
