The latest announcement is out from Persimmon ( (GB:PSN) ).
Persimmon has issued and admitted to trading 379,543 ordinary shares of 10p each to satisfy vested awards under its employee share schemes. The new shares, fully fungible with existing stock, were allotted between 18 February and 31 March 2026 and bring the company’s total shares in issue to 321,119,193, modestly diluting existing holders while reinforcing long-term staff incentives.
The issuance covers 15,924 shares under the 2018 Savings Related Share Option Scheme and 363,619 shares under the 2017 Performance Share Plan. As the shares were admitted under existing block admissions, the move represents routine capital management rather than a fresh equity raise, signalling continued use of share-based compensation without altering Persimmon’s overall market listing structure.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:PSN) stock is a Buy with a £1545.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Persimmon stock, see the GB:PSN Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PSN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PSN is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by deteriorated cash flow generation (negative 2025 free cash flow) and reduced profitability versus prior peak years, despite a very strong low-leverage balance sheet. Technical indicators are weak (below key moving averages with negative MACD), while a moderate P/E and ~4.7% dividend yield provide partial support.
