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

Centaur Media plc has launched a tender offer of up to £64 million to buy back as many as 133.3 million shares at 48 pence each, funded from substantial cash proceeds generated by disposals of its main operating businesses in 2025, leaving it debt-free and with surplus capital. Alongside a court-approved reduction of capital to create distributable reserves, the company plans to delist from the London Stock Exchange, cancel its premium listing, re-register as a private limited company and adopt new articles, marking a decisive step in its break-up strategy; with only Influencer Intelligence remaining as its sole operating unit and a possible sale of that business under consideration, the moves signal a likely wind-down of the listed entity and a major reshaping of the company’s future for shareholders and other stakeholders.

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.
