Sharecast - "With one of the best balance sheets in the sector, delivering above sector average 8% yield via returns to shareholders (both dividends and buybacks), Centrica (LON:CNA) shares continue to look attractive in a sector relative context," the bank said.

Citi said that with retail churn continuing to be low and Ofgem consulting to increase bad debt allowance, it continues to see a good balance of risk and reward from the retail division.
