  • Oppenheimer analyst Bryan F. Blair initiated coverage on Advanced Drainage Systems Inc (NYSE:WMS) with Outperform rating at a price target of $108.
  • The analyst believes the company will continue strong market outgrowth, attractive margins and return generation going forward.
  • Blair notes WMS has outperformed end-market growth in past 12 years, with 10% growth in non-residential business and 6% in the residential business. 
  • The analyst is bullish on WMS’ vast product portfolio, scale, efficient resource support (including a company-owned fleet of 700 trucks and 1,250 trailers), and persisted material conversion of stormwater and septic systems.
