Benchmark downgraded Travelzoo (NASDAQ: TZOO) from Buy to Hold, price target cut from $37 to $30.

Benchmark analyst said, "In addition to a shortfall in domestic search, gross Local Deals revenue may have come in at $31 million, representing a 9% sequential decline, which we see extending into 1Q12. We believe Local Deals momentum may be halted near-term, and project total revenue may grow by just 10% y/y in 2012."

"We are lowering our 2012 estimates, now projecting 10% y/y revenue growth to $163.6 million ($182 million prior). EBITDA could grow in line with revenues, up 10% y/y to $42 million, leading to EPS of $1.57, down from $1.70. Free cash flow could be $1.61 per share."
