FBR Capital maintains a 'Market Perform' on Jefferies Group (NYSE: JEF), PT cut to $23.

FBR analyst says, "Following Jefferies Group's generally in-line 2Q11 results, we are fine-tuning our 2011 EPS estimate to $1.50 from $1.55 and reiterating our 2012 estimate of $1.75. We are also reducing our price target from $25 to $23 to reflect both our lowered 2011 expectations and generally lower valuations across the entire broker/dealer sector. Management has so far implemented and executed a build-out strategy that has added breadth of products and personnel to an already strong franchise. The build-out is translating into midteen EPS growth as fixed-income trading has benefited from a generally strong environment (2Q11 decline aside)."
