British Gas owner Centrica is on the rise after analysts suggested it could return up to £1.2bn to shareholders.

The company raised its stake in the Statfjord field in the north sea earlier in the week, but UBS said further such deals were unlikely to fit its acquisition criteria. Analyst Stephen Hunt said:


Even though Centrica's preferred strategy remains vertical integration, if the company doesn't find sufficient investment opportunities, then it could redistribute cash.

We believe that the payment of a special dividend of up to 23.5p a share (8% yield, totalling £1.2bn) is possible in 2012, although Centrica would likely target a lower payout in order to leave headroom for further acquisitions. Strong cashflows mean such a payment could also be repeated in future years.

cynic you will not get these returns in any bank for the next 4 years .
and you wil sleep at night

2517GEORGE - 05 Feb 2012 10:59 - 149 of 682

Consumers will be delighted to hear that their payments are going to shareholders.

i mentioned on another thread that i had now bought some ..... by far the best return i have, apart from on a small property i bought in london in 1978, is on a private investment which yields 10% and is low risk too

TANKER - 05 Feb 2012 12:36 - 151 of 682

2517 , holders take the risk .
most of these idiots that want elec and gas for nothing .
spend all there money paying to watch idiot kicking a ball about
on a foot ball pitch that about =sums them up no food for the kids but loads for football games and the pub and mobiles .that is why they are what they are .
any one who pays out good money to watch others enjoying there sport and other people paying them to do so are idiots

Chris Carson - 05 Feb 2012 13:03 - 152 of 682

TANK - THATS ENTERTAINMENT, THATS ENTERTAINMENT! there's a song there somewhere. How to upset followers of our national game, I'm 58 years of age would love to be able to play football but know I would be a bloody idiot to try TANK.

2517GEORGE - 05 Feb 2012 13:14 - 153 of 682

T----consumers have very little choice, and as for categorising that is idiotic.
2517

TANKER - 05 Feb 2012 15:16 - 154 of 682

2517 . i am rich because i do not give away my money to over paid idiots playing football and if these idiots pay for these footballers to enjoy themselves then the deserve to be low life and have nothing . my view is if you can not play dont bother
find a sport that you can play like snooker bowling which you can play till you die

cynic - 05 Feb 2012 16:19 - 155 of 682

tanks - you are a very intolerant man; just because you don't subscribe to a certain view, it does not mean that those who disagree with you are idiots .... i fear you have bigotry in equal measure to your alleged wealth

skinny - 06 Feb 2012 07:09 - 156 of 682

Brings new meaning to the term "sweeping generalisation" or is that "hasty generalisation"!!

TANKER - 06 Feb 2012 08:00 - 157 of 682

cynic your choice . i am saying this if people pay good money to watch other people having all the fun and you paying for them to have it ,well you must a idiot or soft in the head .it would not be so bad if the people or local most of them do not give a shit about the fans . end . will not post again

cynic - 06 Feb 2012 08:20 - 158 of 682

oh dear; have you suddenly become thin-skinned and unable to take deserved flak?

surprised that your impoverished upbringing about which you never tire of telling us, did not teach you that if you dish it out, you should expect to get at least a similar return

TANKER - 06 Feb 2012 08:26 - 159 of 682

cynic , i can take it . but i am moving so more things to do ,moving to be my my daughter. have a nice day , and seat back and watch cna mrw tesco go up.

UBS pointed out that Centrica has “exceptional balance sheet strength”, which it could use to make more acquisitions, such as Monday’s £141m deal to up its stake in the North Sea’s Statfjord field.

But analysts suggested that if the company does not find sufficient investment opportunities, then a special dividend – a one-off payment of cash to shareholders – could be an option. “We believe that the payment of a special dividend of up to 23½p-per-share is possible in 2012; although Centrica would likely target a lower pay-out in order to leave headroom for further acquisitions,” said UBS.


“Strong cashflows mean such a payment could also be repeated in future years,” it added.
for you cynic

I'm have a feeling that 'one or two' more will be adding Mega...good luck....although I don't think 'luck' is in the equation here.
