Deutsche Bank Maintains a 'Hold' on James River Coal (JRCC); Risk/Reward Balanced

Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Hold' on James River Coal (NASDAQ: JRCC) price target of $9.00.

Deutsche analyst says, "James River is a top 15 coal producers in the US. It produces steam and industrial-grade coal and now is a major met producer following its acquisition of International Resource Partners (IRP), a privately held partnership producing met and steam coal in southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. Including the contribution from IRP, coal sales could reach 13m tons by 2013 from 9m tons in 2010. Although JRCC has intentions to expand through its IRP acquisition, we see downside risks to volumes and Central App coal prices."

"We believe that James River should trade at the low-end of this range given its smaller size and earnings risks..."
