Analyst projections of the future price of Bellway stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Bellway grew FY26 completions by 10.8% to 9,695, revenue by 13.6% and underlying operating profit by 5.6%, showing it can expand output and earnings despite a difficult market. (Bellway)
Adjusted operating cash flow rose 36% to £868.6m and Bellway ended FY26 with £157.7m of net cash. It plans around £450m of dividends and buybacks across FY26 and FY27, giving shareholders a sizeable near-term return. (Bellway)
The proposed Your First Home scheme could lift buyer demand: Bellway’s chief executive said it might boost volumes by about 10% and help completions return to at least 10,000 a year by FY28. (Reuters)
Demand has softened: the forward order book was 4,981 homes in early October, down from 5,285 a year earlier, and Bellway expects FY27 completions to fall to 9,000–9,400 from 9,695. (Bellway)
Profitability is under pressure: the FY26 operating margin fell to 10.1% from 10.9%, and Bellway expects another decline in FY27 as 3–4% build-cost inflation, sales incentives and more lower-margin bulk sales weigh on returns. (Bellway)
Planning delays may restrict site openings and future output. Bellway expects to operate an average of about 230 outlets in FY27, down from 238, while plots with detailed planning permission fell to 27,092 from 30,544. (Bellway)
