Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on GeoEye (NASDAQ: GEOY) price target lowered from $33 to $22.

Canaccord analyst, Jeff Rath, said, "We maintain our rating, but are lowering our target amid growing macro concerns around defense budget cuts. The outlook across all businesses now appears more uncertain, resulting in a lower multiple to value shares."

"Though the magnitude of defense budget cuts are in debate, we believe they are imminent, supported by recent government commentary...The GEOY financial model is extremely sensitive to US government uncertainty, and we believe the stock will remain volatile until more clarity around budget cuts is known."
