Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on AOL, Inc. (NYSE: AOL) price target of $31.00.

Analyst, Anthony DiClemente, raises FY12 EPS estimate from $1.38 to $1.62 and FY13 from $1.48 to $2.34. DiClemente views the recent Dutch auction ($400 million repurchase) as a positive step toward AOL's goal to return $1.1 billion back to shareholders (in 2012). A dividend may even be in the works to reach that goal. However, the Barclays analyst rated the company/stock at EW because AOL is still in turnaround story, and would wait for a pick up in display business first.
