Correction - Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) price target of $29.00.

Analyst, Mark Lipacis, said, "INTC lowered its 3Q revenue outlook by 770bps at the mid-point, and is now expecting 3Q revs to decline by 2% QQ. We believe there is a stronger than normal inventory purge in front of the Win 8 OS launch (Oct-26)(Nasdaq: MSFT) due to macro concerns. However, we resist the urge to get too negative because Intel's shift in product introductions likely means a stronger than normal 1Q. We remain Hold rated on the stock."

Current quarter EPS estimate lowered from $0.61 to $0.51, FY12 from $2.47 to $2.21 and FY13 from $2.67 to $2.46.
