Earnings call transcript: Centrica Q4 2025 sees EPS beat, stock dips

Centrica, the British energy giant, reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter 2025 earnings per share during its quarterly results call in London on February 15, 2026, despite which the company's stock price declined by 3.2% as investors expressed concerns over the upcoming year's guidance and continued market volatility in the energy sector. The energy company, which owns British Gas, posted earnings per share of 12.5 pence for the quarter, exceeding analyst expectations of 11.8 pence. Revenue for the quarter reached £8.2 billion, a 5% increase year-over-year, driven by higher wholesale energy prices and increased demand for renewable energy solutions. However, during the post-earnings call, CEO Chris O'Shea cautioned that while the current quarter's performance was strong, the company expected 'continued challenges' in the coming year due to regulatory changes and potential fluctuations in global energy markets. Centrica's renewable energy division showed particularly strong performance, with revenue increasing by 18% compared to the same period in 2024, accounting for 35% of total company revenue. The company announced plans to accelerate its transition to cleaner energy, committing to invest an additional £500 million in renewable projects over the next two years.
