Barratt Earnings: Demand Conditions Show Further Improvement in Early Fiscal 2025

Homebuyer demand has shown further improvement for no-moat Barratt Developments in early fiscal 2025. Its weekly private home sales rate rose to 0.58 home per active outlet, up 38% year on year. The progressive improvement in sale activity witnessed in 2024 and the recent spate of favorably trending housing market data speaks to our view that the UK housing market is in the midst of a cyclical revival. Barratt shares continue to screen attractively, with UK homebuyer appetite clearly rebounding from its housing cycle lows in 2023.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Underlying housing demand is likely to benefit from the UK’s changing demographics. The ongoing aging of the population is likely to support demand for new housing over the coming decade as the average household size declines.

Bears

The UK government’s annual target of 300,000 new home additions is unlikely to materialize, with housing market data not indicative of a material undersupply of housing.
