Barclays maintains an 'Underweight' on Ferrellgas Partners LP (NYSE: FGP), PT cut from $25 to $23.

Barclays analyst says, "We are decreasing our price target to reflect a weaker-than-expected quarter. FGP reported disappointing Q3 results as the propane sector continues to operate in a challenging environment as high commodity prices and customer conservation persist. While the Partnership will likely end the year with sub-1x distribution coverage, we expect the distribution to be maintained, as the balance sheet remains adequate. In light of the weak quarter and no near-term catalyst until the next heating season, we are lowering price target $2. Our $23 PT is based on a 12-month distribution run rate of $2.00 and a target yield of 8.75% (previously 8%)."
