21st Century Fox (FOXA) PT, Estimates Cut at Jefferies; 'Buy' Reiterated

Jefferies analyst John Janedis trimmed his price target on 21st Century Fox (NASDAQ: FOXA) to $40.00 (from $43.00) but maintained a Buy rating.

Janedis commented, "The '16 guidance and negative tone around the ad market overshadowed a strong F2Q. The mid $7B EBITDA range was slightly below our expectation of $7.6-$7.7B, but not a game changer. Mgmt's tone around digital was more negative than we would have expected, but with FOXA trading at ~16x our C16 est., we think it should find support after tomorrow's sell-off."

The firm lowered FY 2015 EPS from $1.63 to $1.56 and FY 2016 EPS from $2.19 to $1.95.
