Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Calpine Corporation (NYSE: CPN) price target of $18.00.

Barclays analyst says, "In addition to CPN's attractive business mix the company opportunistically initiated a $300M stock buyback on 8/19. We expect good performance in CA and TX which are 70% of EBITDA to drive flattish 2012 results on trough PJM capacity prices. We are revising our 2011-2013 EBITDA forecasts to an above-consensus $1.74B/$1.73B/$1.99B versus $1.77B/$1.78B/$2.14B. We expect good plant operations in TX in August to help offset lower PJM prices, expiring hedges and the sale of the Colorado plants. We see Q3 EPS of $0.36 versus $0.39 last year."
