UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Expeditors Int'l (NASDAQ: EXPD) price target lowered from $56 to $51.
Analyst, Elizabeth Mielke, said, "We reduce our FY12 EPS estimate from $1.94 to $1.80 and FY13E from $2.24 to $2.15. We expect share weakness on the back of this warning, as it exacerbates developing fears that Expeditors has become a broken growth story and no longer deserves such a large valuation premium to the market and other transports. While the next couple quarters will likely be very challenging, we expect double-digit EPS growth to resume in Q4. We think the stock will ultimately work over a 12-month horizon, but patience will be required from investors in the near term."
