Loop Capital analyst Rick Paterson downgraded Air Transport Services (ATSG) to Hold from Buy with a price target of $22.50, up from $22, after the company announced its entry into an acquisition agreement with Stonepeak for $22.50 per share. The firm would not be surprised if a competing bidder “came out of the woodwork at some point, given the modest 3% premium to book value.”
