Citi Upgrades Arch Coal (ACI) and Peabody Energy (BTU) from Hold to Buy
Citi upgrades Arch Coal Inc. (NYSE: ACI) and Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE: BTU) from Hold to Buy.
Coal benefits from structural change - Coal has benefited from structural change, with historically isolated/fragmented regional markets linking up and "going global." Mine shortfalls, transport constraints, thin stockpiles, and voracious BRIC-country demand suggest that this process has several years yet to run...Recent sell-off overdone - We see the recent 10-18% correction in the equities to be excessive, in response to a down-tick in European spot from records."
Citi also increases price target on ACI from $63 to $86 and on BTU from $69 to $105.
Arch Coal, Inc. is a coal producer in the United States. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company operated 18 active mines located in each of the low-sulfur, coal-producing regions of the United States.
