Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) price target cut from $725 to $700.

Analyst Michael Graham, said, "We believe Google missed numbers almost entirely on currency dynamics with a much smaller impact from unfavorable traffic mix. While results were disappointing, these issues should pass, and underlying growth-predicting metrics were strong."

"We are modeling a dip in H1/2012 until pricing can recover, and are lowering our 2012 and 2013 EPS estimates to $43.51 (from $46.42) and $52.47 (from $55.48), respectively."
