Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG) price target of $24.00 (from $22.00).

Analyst, Daniel Ford, said, "We are raising our target on NRG by to $24 to reflect full treatment of the merger synergies, solar EBITDA guidance and the timing of the Marsh Landing plant on-line in 2013. Our price target for NRG excludes TX upside and revenue synergies which could be worth $1-$2/share. The revenue synergies apply a 6x multiple to $60M-$90M of Mid-Atlantic retail margin at $2-$3/MWhr with GenOn Energy's (NYSE: GEN) output. We include our consolidated model starting in 2013 inside. Our merged Adjusted EBITDA with GenOn Energy for 2013 is $2.67B and for 2014 $2.72B versus $2.59B/$2.61B previously. This compares to guidance of $2.535B-$2.735B for 2013 and $2.63B-$2.83B for 2014."
