Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Research In Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM) price target lowered from $10 to $8.

Analyst, Jeff Kvaal, said, "Likely loss implies QoQ unit decline of ~50% to ~6mn units: RIM hadn't provided guidance, but did say an operating loss is now likely. We believe the US market remains the weakest region."

Although Kvaal thinks that a strategic review will help advisors find a few rays of light including sub base, sell through and Blackberry10 which should still be on track. However, he thinks that the stock will purely be event driven from here on out.

Barclays lowers Q1 EPS from $0.19 to ($0.25). FY13 from $0.10 to ($0.54) and FY14 from $0.75 to $0.11.
