JP Morgan ups Holcim price target on US outlook, risks remain

JPMorgan raises Holcim's price target to CHF56.50 from CHF55.20 due to optimism on the outlook for the private building sector in the US. "Much better volumes in cement and great weather has provided some hope for the sector," says analyst Michael Morris. Still "risks remain in India, where Holcim is most exposed," he notes.
