DA Davidson analyst Brent Thielman lowered his price target on KBR to $17.50, saying that while the management is still cultivating an organization with an expanded Government Services platform and strong Technology & Consulting business, the company is faced with near-term bottlenecks. Specifically, Thielman states that the company is now funding the completion of Ichthys with its balance sheet, and the changes to completion costs pose a risk. The analyst also points to an "ongoing litigious noise and the already factored expectation E&C bookings build", keeping his Neutral rating.
