Dahlman Rose initiates coverage on U.S. Silica Holdings (NYSE: SLCA) with a Buy. PT $25.00.

Dahlman a nalyst said, "We expect US Silica to grow pro forma operating earnings from roughly $0.80 in 2011 to $2.10 by 2013 based on two growth projects that came on-line in 4Q11, the re-contracting to market prices of $70-$80 per ton from roughly $50 per ton (most of which has already occurred), and the entrance into resin-coated sand (RCS) by 2013. We believe there could be upside to EPS estimates from lower operating cost inflation than modeled, higher roll-over prices, the potential Greenfield frac sand expansion, and from a second RCS line."
