Wells Fargo downgraded ManTech (NASDAQ: MANT) from Market Perform to Underperform with a price target of $20-$22 (from $23-$25).

Analyst, Edward S. Caso, Jr., said, "Revenue of $639 million and EPS of $0.67 came in well below our/Street's $710MM/$746MM revenue estimates and $0.73/$0.77 EPS estimates, respectively. Management continued to suggest an environment of high funding uncertainty, but was optimistic that yesterday's (8/1) announced verbal agreement in Congress to sign a six-month (through March 31, 2013) Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government was a very positive development. It remains unclear to us how this might conflict with the legislated sequestration spending reductions expected to go into effect January 2."

FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $2.89 to $2.75 and FY13 from $2.91 to $2.80.
