Topeka Capital initiates coverage on Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI) with a Buy. PT $39.00.

The firm comments, "As a leading specialty metals producer, the Company should benefit from both cyclical and secular drivers in both the commercial aerospace and energy markets as well as an eventual re-acceleration in the broader economic recovery. ATI has numerous initiatives to continue to improve its product mix, cost structure and its production capabilities. While the stainless steel business has experienced significant headwinds, we believe the worst of the decline is behind the Company. Additionally, given the lean inventory levels we believe even modest improvements in economic conditions should result in stronger fundamentals. As this business strengthens and major commercial aircraft programs ramp production, we believe the Company is well positioned for future growth."
