Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) price target of $23.00 (from $31.00).

Analyst, Anthony DiClemente, said, "Owing to ad revenue deceleration, headwinds from lock-up expirations, and elevated valuation FB's shares are down -29% since reporting earnings after the close on 7/26 (vs SPX +5%). With a lack of evidence from FB around significant traction in its mobile monetization strategy, we are revising our estimates and lowering our Price Target."

FY12 EPS estimate maintained at $0.41, but lowers FY13 from $0.43 to $0.41.
