Baird maintains an 'Outperform' on Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) price target of $6.00 (from $13.00).

Analyst, Colin Sebastian, said, "Big reset of expectations as social games take a breather. Despite challenging social game trends becoming more evident (see our intra-quarter research notes), actual results and outlook were much worse than anticipated. Bookings declined 8% sequentially as Facebook shifted focus to new games and compounded by some user fatigue for management style games. While shares will now be in the 'penalty box,' over the long term Zynga should continue to benefit from the expanding markets for social and mobile games."
