Centaur Media ( (GB:CAU) ) has shared an update.

Centaur Media plans to return up to £64m to shareholders via a tender offer at 48p per share, but the timetable has been pushed back as the group seeks court approval for a capital reduction to create sufficient distributable reserves; the shareholder circular is now expected in January, with the capital return targeted for March 2026. Separately, the company has completed the sale of Econsultancy to Uptime App Limited, leaving Centaur as a streamlined business centred on Influencer Intelligence Limited after a significant downsizing of central costs, and it reported net cash of £67m as of 5 January 2026, including the initial proceeds from the disposal.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CAU) stock is a Hold with a £46.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Centaur Media stock, see the GB:CAU Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:CAU Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:CAU is a Neutral.

Centaur Media’s overall stock score is primarily influenced by its challenging financial performance, which is offset by positive technical indicators and strategic corporate actions. The company’s valuation is a concern due to negative earnings, but the high dividend yield provides some appeal. Corporate events, including asset sales and capital return plans, positively impact the score by demonstrating a focus on shareholder value.
