Jefferies upgraded Eagle Materials (NYSE: EXP) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $27 (down from $28).

The firm comments, "The shares are significantly undervalued in our view, although signs of an upturn in the US housing market will probably be required for a sustained recovery in the share price. The main recovery potential is in Eagle's wallboard business, but there is also significant potential in its other businesses."
