What the Analysts think about Persimmon
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Persimmon stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Persimmon stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The private forward order book grew 5% to £1.31bn, with private average selling prices up 3%; about 80% of expected private completions and all expected housing-association completions were secured. That gives the current-year outlook meaningful sales visibility. (Persimmon)
Persimmon secured detailed planning for 6,123 plots in the first half and is targeting about 100 new outlets this year. A larger consented land pipeline and outlet network could support future volume growth. (Persimmon)
The company expects £40m–£50m of additional cost pressure over 18 months and warned that savings may not fully offset inflation in 2027. This could slow progress towards its medium-term operating-margin target. (Reuters)
Open-market sales softened after June, July enquiries weakened and the private sales rate excluding bulk fell to 0.59 per outlet per week from 0.61 a year earlier. Persistent affordability pressure could make it harder to sustain sales momentum. (Persimmon)
Underlying housing gross margin fell to 18.0% from 20.1% in the first half. Persimmon attributed the decline to a larger share of lower-margin housing-association sales, higher incentives and build-cost pressures. (Investegate)
