Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) price target of $15.00.

Barclays analyst says, "Today's results and outlook positively reinforced our constructive thought process on DAL and the industry. Proactive capacity cuts have given DAL and others a jump on potential revenue softness and are paying off through better revenue in the interim. We have maintained a 2012 estimate that we believe reflects a reasonable balance between revenue and fuel, though our 4Q assumptions on that front are looking increasingly conservative. After a solid quarter, with valuation at this level, the share price reaction puzzles us."

"We increase our 4Q11E EPS from $0.11 to $0.21 on better than expected revenue and costs. 2012 EPS unchanged at $2.50."
