Barclays reinstates coverage on Exelon (NYSE: EXC) with an Equalweight. PT $39.00.

Analyst, Daniel Ford, said, "We view EXC as a bellwether power company, with best-in-class generation assets, three large distribution utilities, and a top-notch management team with a track record of delivering on earnings promises and excellent operational expertise - particularly with its generation fleet...That being said, the state of forward commodities markets and the flat-to-down earnings environment they portend for unregulated generation has led to a weaker balance sheet and flat earnings path over the next 2-4 years."

Barclays sees FY12 thru FY14 EPS estimate at $2.69/$2.77/$2.65, respectively.
