Dahlman Rose maintains a 'Buy' on Molycorp (NYSE: MCP) price target lowered from $70 to $50.

Analyst, Anthony Young, said, "Molymet has agreed to purchase approximately 12.5 million shares of Molycorp for a total consideration of $390 million. These shares will be dilutive to current shareholders...Based upon the dilution introduced with this transaction, we are adjusting our NAV analysis. In addition to the 13% dilution, we believe an investment in Molycorp shares contains significantly increased risk, given the company's stated desire to participate in M&A activity. Thus we discount our NAV by 25%, to arrive at our price target of $50."
