UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Gannett (NYSE: GCI) price target lowered from $15 to $13.50.
Analyst, John Janedis, said, "Based on checks, we believe print ad trends remain sluggish through the first two months of 2Q. Moreover, we do not think the digital segment has seen as much of a reacceleration as we had initially anticipated given the somewhat muted online recruitment market/CareerBuilder. We lowered our 2Q12 EPS estimate to $0.52 (prior $0.53) and revenue to $1,316M (prior $1,326M). At this point, it’s too early to call the success of the paywall/digital ad initiatives in our view and we maintain our Neutral rating on the stock."
UBS lowers FY12 EPS estimate from $2.19 to $2.13 and FY13 from $2.04 to $1.96.
