Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We are being rewarded for being patient. We suggested to buy this on weakness on a pullback. CNR recently reported earnings and the stock jumped over 20%. EPS increased 50% to $0.21 per share (including a sizable tax gain), when the market was expecting a net loss and the company has a record order backlog. The company designs and manufacturers building products for non-residential construction, siding and windows. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $6.50, with a target to revisit $9.50 (25% upside). Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $10.51)
