Analyst projections of the future price of Bellway stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Bellway exceeded its own volume target, completing 9,695 homes, up 10.8%, while expected underlying operating profit rose 5.4% to about £320m. That is a solid result despite subdued trading for much of the year. (Bellway)
Cash generation strengthened sharply, taking Bellway from £41.8m of net cash to £157.7m and reducing adjusted gearing to below 5%. This gives it room to keep investing selectively and fund a further £50m buyback after the existing £150m programme. (Bellway, Financial News)
Berenberg upgraded Bellway to Buy and raised its price target to 2,400p, arguing that valuation, balance-sheet strength and capital returns are attractive even in a weak market. This suggests the shares may already discount much of the near-term housing pain. (Financial News)
Future sales visibility has weakened: the forward order book fell to 4,206 homes worth £1.20bn from 5,307 homes worth £1.52bn. The fall came alongside lower private reservation rates, so the strong completion number may overstate the strength of the year ahead. (Bellway, Housing Today)
Profit quality is under pressure: the expected operating margin fell to about 10% from 10.9% because more homes were sold through lower-margin bulk transactions. If private demand remains weak, Bellway may need to rely more heavily on this less profitable route to maintain volumes. (Financial News, Bellway)
