Centrica (LSE:CNA) has released its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2025, with the full report available through its website and the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s National Storage Mechanism. Management is scheduled to present the results to analysts and institutional investors via a live webcast on 19 February 2026.

The board has proposed a final dividend of 3.67 pence per share, bringing the total distribution for 2025 to 5.5 pence per share — an increase from 4.5 pence in 2024. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on 7 May 2026, the final dividend is due to be paid on 14 May 2026 to investors on the register at 10 April 2026. The higher payout signals confidence in the group’s balance sheet strength and its continued focus on returning capital to shareholders.

Centrica’s broader outlook is supported by recent corporate initiatives, including share buybacks and strategic acquisitions aimed at enhancing long-term shareholder value. However, valuation metrics remain somewhat challenged, particularly given a negative price-to-earnings ratio, while technical indicators present a mixed picture.
