Peel Hunt analysts consider Persimmon’s broad market presence, centralized production, and timber frame expertise as advantages in managing costs and supply challenges, better positioning the company for economic uncertainty.
Management remains cautious about elevated mortgage rates and ongoing pressure on consumer spending, stating these could weigh on future homebuying demand, even with strong order book growth.
Despite aiming for single-digit cost increases in 2025, Persimmon cautioned about persistent inflationary headwinds—especially higher labor and material costs—which could squeeze margins if build cost inflation runs above expectations.
