Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Hanesbrands (NYSE: HBI) price target of $35.00.

Analyst Robert S. Drbul sees a Q1 loss of $0.30 and maintains FY12 EPS at $2.50. Drbul sees a Q1 revenue decline of 3.3% to $1.00 billion. The Barclays analyst believes Q1 estimates are achievable given the conservative assumptions.

As for outlook, Drbul, said, "On the call, we expect the company to address 1) updates to cotton costs for FY12; 2) pricing strategies at retail given lower input costs; and 3) progress on de-risking of the Imagewear business and impact of this initiative to revenue and EPS."
