UBS upgraded Arch Coal Inc (NYSE: ACI) from Neutral to Buy. PT lowered $1 to $11.
Analyst, Shneur Z. Gershuni, said, "The upgrade in part is due to valuation as ACI has sold-off over the past several months. Our downgrade of ACI in mid-Jan was premised on weak thermal market conditions and potential for fuel switching. Since that time a healthy portion of these risks have played out and are now somewhat behind us. Ultimately, ACI is levered to natgas pricing – if prices rise then ACI should benefit as coal stocks tend to trade on pricing expectations."
Gershuni still prefers names in the met coal sector, including Walter Energy (NYSE: WLT) and Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE: ANR), but valuation on ACI is currently compelling.
