Jefferies trimmed estimates and its price target on Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) but kept its Buy rating.

Q4 EPS goes from $0.57 to $0.56, FY11 from $2.40 to $2.39 and FY12 from $2.65 to $2.59. The price target moves down from $37 to $36.

The firm comments, "Our work indicates a downtick in EMEA and in Applications, although some large deals could offset some of the impact. Overall we are a bit more cautious. But given ORCL's relatively defensive business model, operating margin expansion and valuation, we maintain our Buy."
