Persimmon ( (GB:PSN) ) has issued an announcement.
Persimmon reported a strong 2025 performance in a difficult housing market, with home completions rising 12% to 11,905 and underlying profit before tax expected at the upper end of market expectations, supported by an expanded outlet base and broad geographic coverage. Average selling prices increased 4% to about £278,000, forward sales rose 2% to £1.17bn despite double-digit completion growth, and the group ended the year with around £116m of net cash after stepping up land investment and progressing building-safety remediation, leaving it well placed for continued outlet and volume growth even as management flags ongoing affordability pressures, softer bulk and registered provider demand, and regulatory cost headwinds in 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:PSN) stock is a Buy with a £16.13 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Persimmon stock, see the GB:PSN Stock Forecast page.
