Barclays maintains an 'Underweight' on Lexmark International (NYSE: LXK) price target of $21.00 (from $24.00).

Analyst, Ben A. Reitzes, said, "Lexmark's pre-announcement was even below our recently lowered estimates in our downgrade note yesterday...cited weaker-than-expected demand in Europe and negative currency headwinds as reasons for the lower guidance."

Reitzes lowers Q2 EPS estimate from $0.98 to $0.88, Q2 revenues cut from $950M to $920M. For FY12, EPS estimate cut from $4.16 to $3.53, revenues lowered from $3.89B to $3.73B. FY13 cut from $4.08 to $3.25 and revenues from $3.78B to $3.56B.
