What the Analysts think about Centrica plc
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Centrica plc stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Centrica plc stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The more predictable infrastructure portfolio is beginning to contribute: Centrica reported £88m of first-half adjusted EBITDA from its Meter Asset Provider, Grain LNG and Sizewell C, and expects about £175m for the full year. (Centrica)
Nuclear extensions could support earnings for longer. Sizewell B is set to run to 2055 under a 20-year contract, while extensions at Heysham 1 and Hartlepool add around 6 TWh of generation without material upfront capital. (Centrica)
The Severn power station adds 850MW of flexible generation, with capacity-market revenues and expected annual EBITDA of £30m–£60m from 2027. Centrica says its existing optimisation business can also help improve returns from the plant. (Centrica)
Cash generation weakened sharply in the first half: free cash flow was a £570m outflow and net cash fell to £709m from £2.5bn at year-end. That leaves less balance-sheet room while the investment programme is ramping up. (Centrica)
The outlook for energy trading remains uncertain: Centrica expects 2027 earnings from the business to be around 2025 and 2026 levels, as it has reduced exposure to limit risk. That weakens the prospect of a near-term earnings rebound from market volatility. (Centrica)
British Gas is expected to land towards the lower end of its £500m–£800m 2026 EBITDA guidance range. Warmer weather and continued difficulty collecting residential energy debt are weighing on the retail outlook. (Centrica)
