Analyst Steven Fisher of UBS Securities said in a note to investors that he reduced the price target to $15 per share from $21. He cited a lower multiple and reduced earnings-per-share estimate.

Wednesday, Willbros raised the low end of its 2008 earnings per share to $1.85 from $1.75 and reduced the high end to $1.95 from $2.

Analysts expect earnings per share of $1.88 for the year, on average, according to Thomson Reuters.

The company cited the delayed start of a pipeline installation project, shifting some revenue anticipated in the fourth quarter into early next year.

Shares fell $2.22, or 18.9 percent, to $9.56 after hitting a multi-year low of $9.15 earlier in the session.
