Dahlman Rose downgraded International Coal (NYSE: ICO) from Buy to Hold.

Dahlman analyst said, "With this transaction Arch (NYSE: ACI) is gaining materially higher exposure to metallurgical markets and adding to its limited Illinois Basin position, while International Coal shareholders are receiving a significant premium at the $14.60/share offer price. Following debt and equity offerings by Arch as well as the receipt of Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust approval last week, we view the merger close as highly likely, and are therefore downgrading our recommendation to Hold."
