Wells Fargo downgrades Allis-Chalmers Energy, Inc. (NYSE: ALY) from Outperform to Market Perform. Raising valuation from a pre-merger announcement range of $2.90-3.45 to a band of $5.25-5.50.

Wells analyst says, "We expect the increasingly competitive Big 4 to limit the size and profitability ALY can achieve over the next 18 months, especially given its high leverage and inchoate sprawl of lower-end businesses. Even within this context, however, ALY's portfolio of tangible assets, and relationships, thanks to its well-connected, savvy insiders, point to intrinsic value meaningfully higher than its current enterprise value."
