NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - Shares of Symantec Corp. were off almost 9% in the premarket on Thursday. The Mountain View, Calif., maker of security and systems-management software was cut to market perform from outperform at FBR Capital Markets, which reduced its price target on the shares to $15 from $20. Late on Wednesday, Symantec reported fiscal first-quarter earnings jumped though revenue for the period came in at the low end of Wall Street's estimates. In addition, for the current quarter, Symantec expects earnings of 27 cents to 28 cents a share on revenue of $1.45 billion to $1.47 billion. Analysts were projecting 35 cents a share on revenue of $1.52 billion. Symantec's "story appeared to finally be turning a corner just roughly three months ago, with solid March results and a good outlook," FBR analysts Daniel H. Ives and Michael Bauer wrote in a note dated Thursday. But "the company's recent spending spree of acquisitions (e.g. [the] VeriSign deal) and a more difficult spending backdrop" have "derailed the Symantec recovery story (at least in the near term) that has been building" for a year, they said.
