Read MoreHide Full Article
On Sep 23, we issued an updated research report on Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (AWI - Free Report) . The company will benefit from cost-reduction actions and volume improvement in the Americas.
The company announced its full-year 2016 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $310–$330 million. It expects its cost-reduction initiatives and robust performance in the Americas to counter the soft sales in international markets. Further, improvement in volumes from new construction activities is likely to continue in the second half of the year.

The company remains focused on strong innovation in pipeline and customer relationships. It will grow by leveraging this pipeline to provide industry-leading innovative products to customers.
The company launched its sustained product line recently. These high-performance ceiling solutions meet the most stringent sustainability compliance and transparency standards in the market. With the fresh sustained program, Armstrong World has optimized its ingredients to support the design of healthy buildings.
