The latest update is out from Centrica ( (GB:CNA) ).
Centrica has completed the sale of its non-core European energy solutions businesses in Italy, the Netherlands and Hungary, as well as its Panoramic Power unit, generating proceeds of more than £80 million. The Italian and Dutch operations have been sold to Joulz, a 3i Infrastructure portfolio company, while the Hungarian business was divested via a management buyout, marking a further step in Centrica’s ongoing portfolio streamlining.
Chief executive Chris O’Shea said the disposals are intended to sharpen the focus of Centrica Business on core growth and innovation priorities, improving its ability to pursue new opportunities in key markets. The move follows recent asset sales at Spirit Energy and underscores Centrica’s strategy of recycling capital from non-core assets into new investments across the group, including large-scale, long-term infrastructure such as Sizewell C and the Grain LNG terminal, with implications for a more infrastructure-oriented earnings mix and capital allocation profile.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CNA) stock is a Buy with a £200.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Centrica stock, see the GB:CNA Stock Forecast page.
