Next reporting date

The next earnings date is February 25, 2027, according to TradingView. Until then, the analyst target, director purchases and the contrast between current profit and prior-year profit provide the clearest dated reference points.

Centrica stock remains below its high

The London quote of GBp 150.45 on October 27, 2026 stood GBp 69.85 below the 52-week high of GBp 220.30 and GBp 6.45 above the low of GBp 144.00. The combination of a sub-high share price, a single-digit P/E and the GBp 217.60 analyst consensus target frames the stock's current valuation without implying a forecast.
