Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Tellabs (NASDAQ: TLAB) price target lowered from $4.75 to $4.00.

Jefferies analyst says, "Tellabs reported Q4 results that were modestly better than expected while Q1 guidance was disappointing. The company cited capex weakness both globally and among the North American carriers. From our perspective, it’s too early to see any significant prospects for a new product-driven turnaround story."

"For 2012, we’re taking our revenue and EPS estimates from $1.195 billion and $(0.07) to $1.12 billion and $0.01, respectively. The bump in EPS is driven by Tellabs’ restructuring. Finally, we’re initiating 2013 revenue and EPS projections at $1.10 billion and $0.05, respectively."
