Vistry Group ( (GB:VTY) ) has provided an announcement.

Vistry Group reported resilient full-year 2025 trading, with adjusted pre-tax profit expected to edge up to about £270m on broadly flat revenue of £4.2bn, despite a softer private sales market and a 9% fall in total completions to roughly 15,700 units. Operating margin improved to 8.4% on the back of higher-margin new developments, cost discipline and increased use of off-site timber frame construction, while net debt fell to around £145m even as the group stepped up land investment, securing 12,600 plots for the year and positioning its partnerships-led model to tap into the UK’s forthcoming £39bn, 10‑year Social and Affordable Homes Programme. With 74% of volumes partner-funded, a £50m grant award from Homes England, a £4bn forward order book and expectations of improving funding visibility and planning reforms, Vistry signalled confidence in delivering further financial and strategic progress in 2026, albeit with performance again weighted to the second half as affordable housing allocations ramp up and open market conditions potentially benefit from lower interest rates.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VTY) stock is a Hold with a £664.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vistry Group stock, see the GB:VTY Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:VTY Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:VTY is a Neutral.

Vistry Group’s overall score is driven by strong corporate actions like share buybacks, which enhance shareholder value. However, financial performance is mixed with strong revenue growth but declining margins and increased leverage. Technical indicators suggest stability but with caution due to potential overbought conditions. Valuation concerns due to a negative P/E ratio and lack of dividend yield weigh heavily on the score.
