Citi Downgrades Titanium Metals (TIE) to Hold
Citi downgrades Titanium Metals (NYSE: TIE) from Buy to Hold. Price target lowered to $7.50 from $8.
Citi analyst says, "Based on further weakness in titanium prices, we are downgrading TIE to Hold and reducing our '09 estimate to $0.33 from $0.35, '10 estimate to $0.50 from $0.80 and maintaining '11 at $0.85. Based on these changes our target prices declines to $7.50/sh from $8.00/sh...Items to look for in the earnings release include: 1) High value product mix; 2) YoY volumes changes in mill products; 3) Offsetting margin effects of lower raw materials costs and lower fixed cost absorption on diminished sales volumes; 4) Capex outlook; and 5) Commentary about aerospace engine or airframe demand."

Citigroup Downgrades, I buy
Fliujniligui on Apr 21, 2009 07:55 PMSeriously, TIE has equity equal to market cap and no debt. Their product is technologically quintessential for long term development and this is when analysts create bargain with their 2 inch view range that we must buy such valuable companies. Citigroup is the best house to have a short term view about the inside and the outside of itself and other companies. The superficiality of their analysis can explain moves from stocks for 2 next months but are far from seizing the long term meaning of being in busines. I buy what they downgrade.
