Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on ADTRAN (NASDAQ: ADTN) price target of $21.00 (from $27.00).

Analyst, George C. Notter, said, "We knew the environment for Wireline equipment was really deteriorating but we were still surprised by how soft Adtran’s guidance was for Q3. Perhaps more importantly, we don’t necessarily think Adtran is a “canary in the coal mine” for every other equipment vendor. The company, in our view, is much more heavily exposed to those areas of Wireline spending that are faring the worst right now."

FY12 EPS estimate cut from $1.37 to $1.10 and revenues from $737M to $688.6M. FY13 revenue and EPS estimates go from $808.9 million and $1.90 to $720 million and $1.25.
