Improving UK Housing Data Points Are Conducive to Earnings Recovery for Persimmon From 2025 Onward

Grant Slade

Persimmon is the U.K.’s second largest homebuilder, in terms of both revenue and dwelling completions, operating under a speculative build model that is vertically integrated through the land development, construction, and sales and marketing segments of the value chain. Playing predominantly in the lower-priced segment of the newbuild market, about 50% of Persimmon’s private market sales are to first-homebuyers. Persimmon also has limited exposure to the premium end of the newbuild market via its Charles Church brand that markets higher-priced housing in more premium locations that are built to a higher specification standard.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

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

Bears

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