LSE:DCC 30 April 2026 - 1 July 2026

DCC Plc shares gained 0.3% to 6,225 pence in late trade Thursday. That leaves a 300 pence, or 4.8%, spread for anyone buying in now versus the planned 6,525-pence cash offer. KKR & Co Inc and Energy Capital Partners offered £5.7 billion for DCC, with the 6,672.22 pence per share figure including DCC’s 147.22-pence final dividend. The board said it would likely back the deal if a formal offer comes in on these terms and the documents are done.

DCC Plc traded higher Wednesday, with shares up 0.9% near 6,210p, but still below the 6,525p cash offer from KKR and Energy Capital Partners. Shares didn’t close the gap despite the potential takeover bid. The spread, or gap between the current market price and the proposed cash price, was about 5%. That puts the gross upside at around 5.2% from a price close to 6,200p if the consortium comes in with a firm offer at that cash price.

DCC Plc shares edged 5 pence lower to 6,160 pence in afternoon London trading, leaving the energy distributor well below the price indicated by its prospective private-equity buyers. The stock moved between 6,145p and 6,170p during the session. At 6,160p, DCC traded 365p below the £65.25 cash component proposed by KKR and Energy Capital Partners. That represents a 5.6% discount to the proposed cash price, or potential gross upside of about 5.9% should a firm offer emerge on those terms.

London, June 13, 2026, 19:05. DCC Plc’s share price is now trading less like a normal energy-distribution stock and more like a takeover spread. The Dublin-based, London-listed group was last shown at 6,135p on delayed market data, only slightly higher on the day, as investors weighed the gap between the market price and the revised private-equity proposal now under discussion. DCC’s shares are also marked ex-dividend, with the final dividend payment date listed as July 23, an important detail because the headline takeover package includes that dividend.

DCC Plc traded at 6,130p by early Friday afternoon, holding steady after the FTSE 100 name signaled more progress toward a deal with a KKR- and Energy Capital Partners-led group. Shares moved between 6,115p and 6,170p in the session, according to Davy market data. DCC on June 10 set out a new offer for shareholders, saying they would get 6,672.22p a share, with 6,525p in cash and a final dividend of 147.22p per share for the year ended March 31, 2026. The company said this revised offer was about 33% over the three-month volume-weighted average share price of 5,005p before talks started, and stands 15% higher than DCC’s earlier proposal of 5,800p per share that was turned down in April.

DCC Plc shares moved higher on Wednesday after fresh takeover rumors put the stock in focus. KKR and Energy Capital Partners are up against a deadline, with just hours to decide on making a firm bid or dropping plans. A report pointed to talks about a possible 6,500p a share offer. DCC was trading at 6,180p at 11:06 a.m. in London, up 180p, or 3.0%, and has ranged between 5,985p and 6,240p in the session, based on delayed data from Davy. The story here isn’t a routine earnings release. It’s the numbers behind the bid. The reported 6,500p figure comes in at around 12% over the 5,800p per share cash offer DCC turned down back in April, and still sits
