Citigroup upgrades Peabody Energy and Arch Coal in improved view of coal sector
Thursday, July 03, 2008;
Citigroup added that powder river basin (PRB) coal could be "the next leg" in what it called the coal bull market in 2009 and 2010.
The firm's upgrade of Arch came as the company is "most insulated from the downtick in European thermal prices, as its Central Appalachian exposure is largely met and the PRB accounts for the bulk of tonnage."
The upgrade of Peabody was based on similar logic, it Citigroup said, though it also said that Peabody has underperform the sector so far this year, and that it had attractive exposure to Australian exports.
Citi also increases price target on ACI from $63 to $86 and on BTU from $69 to $105.
