Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on GenOn Energy (NYSE: GEN), PT $4.

Barclays analyst says, "GEN's Q1 Adjusted EPS was $0.01 which was ahead of the -$0.08 consensus. GEN's Q1 Adjusted EBITDA was $203M versus $162M last year and a pro forma $189M. GEN cited lower expenses and increased value of the hedges somewhat offset by lower volumes in PJM East and lower capacity revenues in PJM and California."
