Travis Perkins ( (GB:TPK) ) has provided an update.

Travis Perkins held its Annual General Meeting in London on 21 May 2026, where shareholders approved all 17 resolutions, including the receipt of the 2025 accounts, the directors’ remuneration report, a final dividend of 7.5 pence per share, and the election or re-election of all named directors. Deloitte was reappointed as auditor, and shareholders backed authorities for share allotment, share buybacks and the ability to call general meetings on 14 days’ notice, with overall turnout at just over 83%.

The board acknowledged that Resolutions 14 and 15, relating to the authority to allot shares and to disapply pre-emption rights, attracted meaningful opposition despite passing with majorities. In line with UK Corporate Governance Code expectations, the chair and company secretary plan to engage with shareholders to understand concerns and have committed to publishing an update on this engagement within six months, signalling sensitivity to investor governance priorities.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TPK) stock is a Hold with a £685.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Travis Perkins stock, see the GB:TPK Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TPK Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TPK is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weakened profitability (net losses in 2024–2025) and a poor technical trend (below major moving averages with negative MACD and low RSI/Stoch). Stronger operating and free cash flow and moderate leverage provide some support, while valuation is mixed due to the negative P/E despite a ~2.28% dividend yield.
