Dahlman Rose is reaffirming its Buy rating on shares of Arch Coal Inc (NYSE: ACI), but is reducing its price target from $25 to $20 following the release of its Q4 results.

The company reported weaker than expected EBITDA results as its CAPP and Western Bituminous regions came in below exceptions. Management noted demand continued to weaken throughout the quarter.

The firm finds it notable that management did not offer any guidance going into the next fiscal year during the release, since ACI has typically done in the past.

Dahlman Rose cut its 2012 and 2013 EBITDA estimates to $1.06 and $1.22 billion from $1.2 and $1.4 billion previously
