Jefferies lowers numbers on Hold-rated Rowan Companies (NYSE: RDC) following in-line Q3 results but surprisingly low Q3 guidance.

The firm comments, "Guidance for '13 surprised even our well below Street expectations and pushes our estimates and PT meaningfully lower still. However, although we think this 'bad news' coming out means shares should find a floor near current levels as it at least provides a baseline expectation for '13, we see limited reasons for shares to trade significantly higher given (1) shipyard execution risks still stand and (2) limited contracting catalysts."

The firm's price target goes from $40 to $36. Q4 EPS goes from $0.62 to $0.56, FY12 from $2.80 to $2.40 and FY13 from $3.65 to $3.30.
