Centrica ( (GB:CNA) ) has issued an announcement.
Centrica told shareholders at its Cardiff AGM that it is pressing ahead with its strategy, highlighted by about £1.1bn of planned 2026 capital investment and the roughly £370m purchase of the 850MW Severn power station. The group said the Severn plant will initially weigh on earnings this year due to integration and seasonal factors, before becoming a meaningful EBITDA contributor from 2027.
The company guided 2026 retail EBITDA towards the lower end of its £500m–£800m range, citing warmer weather, commodity price dynamics and persistent bad-debt issues in residential energy. In contrast, infrastructure EBITDA is expected to exceed the top end of guidance, helped by stronger realised prices and robust performance from its Meter Asset Provider unit, which is on track to install more than 1m meters and, along with Sizewell C and Grain LNG, deliver around £175m of EBITDA.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CNA) stock is a Buy with a £230.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Centrica stock, see the GB:CNA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on CNA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CNA is a Neutral.
Overall score is driven primarily by mid-tier financial performance: strong revenue momentum and consistently positive free cash flow are offset by volatile bottom-line results (net loss in 2025) and a balance sheet that remains only moderately stable. Technicals are mildly supportive with the stock holding above key longer-term moving averages and neutral momentum. Valuation is reasonable with a moderate P/E and dividend yield.
