West Holdings (AWA), which owns America West Airlines, to "market outperform" from "market perform" on Tuesday, a day after the company said it satisfied conditions for a government loan guarantee. "As a result of the government loan, America West has been given more than sufficient liquidity to outlast the current downturn," said analyst Glenn Engel. America West said on Monday it would grant the U.S. government the right to buy a 33 percent stake in the carrier, as requested, paving the way for federal guarantees backing a $429 million loan. The loan guarantees are part of $15 billion federal bailout following the Sept. 11 attacks. Shares closed at $3.15 in Monday's trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
