$BLDR up another 13% today. Builders FirstSource's Stock Pop Not a 1-Day Move -- Market Talk BLDR 8:15 EDT - Stifel Nicolaus calls Builders FirstSource's (BLDR) pending $1.63B acquisition of No. 1 building-products distributor ProBuild "transformative" as it upgrades the manufacturer and supplier to buy and sets a $20 price target. That after shares spiked 68% yesterday to $11.57, hitting a 7-year high after largely being stuck below $8 since the housing bubble burst. The investment bank highlights not just the potential cost savings from the combination but the likelihood that housing construction continues to rise at a time BLDR's product offerings and geographic footprint will increase. Shares are up another 11% premarket at $12.84. ([e-mail]; @kevinkingsbury)
