What the Analysts think about Forterra
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Forterra stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In January 2025, Forterra reported only modest improvement in FY24 trading conditions, with full-year revenue of about £345 million roughly matching consensus and management maintaining cautious guidance due to broader macroeconomic uncertainty (Reuters).
UK construction firms shed jobs at the fastest pace since the pandemic as rising costs and sluggish order books tightened their grip on the sector, with S&P Global’s construction PMI at 46.4 in March 2025 still indicating contraction, posing demand risks for Forterra’s building products (Bloomberg).
UK housebuilding output tumbled at the fastest pace in a year in January 2025, with S&P Global’s construction PMI plunging to 48.1, the lowest reading in 11 months and undermining near-term growth prospects for Forterra’s brick and block segments (Bloomberg).
