Dahlman Rose is reaffirming its Hold rating on shares of Core Laboratories (NYSE: CLB), but is slashing its price target from $105 to $75.

Due to lower than previously expected revenue growth in its Production Enhancement business, the firm is reducing its 2011, 2012, and 2013 EPS estimates from $1.11, $5.00, and $6.30 to $1.10, $4.90, and $6.05.

The company's September quarter miss largely reflects weaker than previously forecasted revenues in the Reservoir Description and Reservoir Management. Natural gas sales account for roughly 30 percent of the company's total business and missed the company's outlook by $7-$8 million in the third quarter.
