The latest announcement is out from Ithaca Energy PLC ( (GB:ITH) ).
Ithaca Energy reported robust first-quarter 2026 performance, with average production of 126 kboe/d and adjusted EBITDAX of $571 million, reinforcing strong cash generation and a strengthened balance sheet despite slightly lower earnings year-on-year. Available liquidity rose to about $1.6 billion and leverage fell, supporting a dividend policy that is now expected to deliver more than $500 million for 2026 after paying a total of $500 million for 2025.
Operationally, the company advanced key North Sea growth projects, including progressing the Rosebank and Cambo developments toward first production or final investment decisions and moving the Fotla and Greater Tornado Area gas projects into later-stage planning and execution. Ithaca also secured a long-term rig sharing agreement, completed a strategic farm-in to the Tobermory discovery, farmed down Fotla to Harbour Energy, and extended its hedge book, moves that collectively de-risk future production, enhance its gas hub strategy, and underpin long-term value creation for shareholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ITH) stock is a Sell with a £2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ithaca Energy PLC stock, see the GB:ITH Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on ITH Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ITH is a Outperform.
The score is driven by strong technical momentum and solid cash-flow performance, partially offset by elevated earnings volatility (net loss in 2025) and a less reliable valuation signal due to the negative P/E despite the high dividend yield.
