We Are Removing USG Corporation (USG) from Investing Ideas

We are removing USG Corporation (USG) from the long side of Investing Ideas today.

Below is a brief excerpt from an institutional research note written today by Industrials analyst Jay Van Sciver explaining why:

"A potential negative impact of tax reform on the housing market was not part of our USG thesis, so we are removing it as a Best Ideas long.  While we are taking the win a little early here after a not-too-shabby quarter, we still believe the favorable structural and cyclical elements of our USG long thesis are underappreciated.  We’ll revisit the name should the shares reflect a more adverse housing environment."
