Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Clear Channel (NYSE: CCO) price target halved to $6.00.

Analyst, Anthony DiClemente, said, "1Q results fell short of expectations on revenues, costs, and 2Q pacings, as anemic revenue trends in the Americas and International segments coincided with a sharp uptick in expenses during the quarter. On account of our more tepid outlook for the 2Q and FY, we are lowering our estimates accordingly. Also, given the effect of a $6.08 special dividend which was paid out in the 1Q, we are lowering our price target."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $0.18 to -0.17 and FY13 from $0.20 to -0.20.
