Goldman Sachs cut estimates and its price target on Neutral-rated Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) from $70 to $64 following weak Q1 results and lower guidance.

The firm noted the company attributed weakness to constrained spending from financial sector employees, a highly promotional environment, and resistance to entry level product price increases. Also, tourism at the NYC flagship was flat with gains in Asian tourism offsetting declines from European.

Ongoing sales deceleration as the company approaches incrementally challenging comps leave the firm on sidelines.

The firm lowered FY12/FY13/FY14 EPS estimates to $3.75/$4.40/$5.05 from $4.00/$4.65/$5.33 prior.
