(Reuters) - Shares of Facebook Inc (FB.O) fell 4.5 percent to a new low on Friday after BMO Capital Markets cut its price target on the social networking company's shares, saying several lock-up expirations over the next year will weigh on the stock.
BMO Capital Markets, which cut its price target by $10 to $15, said Wall Street sentiment on Facebook is now much worse than advertiser sentiment.
"We expect investor attention to return to fundamentals after the technical challenges presented by lock-up expirations over the next six months have been absorbed by the stock," BMO analysts said in a note.
Shares of the company fell to $18.23 on the Nasdaq on Friday amid heavy trading.
