The lower price target reflects a reduction in his 2014 - 2016 EPS estimates from $2.35, $2.54 and $2.77 to $2.25, $2.15 and $2.22, respectively. In addition to this, Post has also lowered his 2014 bookings/EBITDA from $2.61 billion/$987 million to $2.51 billion/$946 million based on lower expectations for Farm Heroes bookings (from $754 to $561).
Following the downgrade, shares of King Digital have dropped more than seven percent.
