Cowen believes there will be a prolonged down cycle in the freight car manufacturing sector. The firm thinks consolidation could limit margin pressure and outlines several possible transactions. Cowen views an acquisition of FreightCar America (RAIL) by Greenbriar (GBX) as one of the more likely transactions due to its complementary nature and immediate accretion. Other combinations include Greenbriar/American Railcar (ARII), a Greenbriar/National Steel Car deal, an acquisition of FreightCar America by American Railcar, and Railcar being bought by private equity or taking itself private, the firm said.
