What the Analysts think about Bellway
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Bellway stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Bellway stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
FY26 total housing completions increased 10.8% to 9,695, exceeding Bellway’s prior 9,300–9,500 target range; housing revenue rose more than 13% to £3.14bn and expected adjusted operating profit increased to approximately £320m from £303.5m. (RNS)
Cash generation and balance-sheet strength improved materially: year-end net cash was £157.7m, adjusted gearing fell below 5%, and adjusted operating cash flow exceeded £850m. (RNS)
Capital returns remain supportive, with Bellway progressing its £150m buyback and planning a further £50m buyback, while its outlet base expanded to 253 at 31 July 2026 and the group retains a strong land bank for future volume growth. (RNS)
Underlying operating margin is expected to fall to around 10.0% in FY26 from 10.9%, as a higher proportion of lower-margin bulk sales and increased incentives offset revenue growth. (RNS)
Customer demand moderated from April 2026 as mortgage rates rose, while Bellway’s forward order book at 29 May was 5,345 homes worth £1.57bn, below the comparable prior-year level of 5,759 homes and £1.65bn. (RNS)
Renewed build-cost inflation, including higher fuel and energy inputs and supplier surcharges, creates further pressure on margins; Bellway also cited geopolitical and domestic political uncertainty as risks to the outlook beyond FY26. (RNS)
