Bellway (ISIN GB0000904986) was last at GBp 2,074 on the London Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, as the housebuilder approached its full-year results. Bellway lists the results for October 13, 2026, giving investors a near-term test of demand, margins and shareholder returns.

Results bring a mixed picture

Bellway completed 9,695 homes in the year to July 31, 2026, compared with 8,749 a year earlier. That is an increase of 10.8 percent, and the total exceeded the companys earlier completion target of 9,300-9,500 homes, according to IG on October 5, 2026.

Housing revenue reached GBP 3.14 billion in the same period, while underlying operating profit guidance stands at GBP 320 million-GBP 330 million. Fidelity International compares that guidance with GBP 304 million in the prior year.

Demand remains the key variable

The operating improvement is accompanied by softer private demand. Bellways private reservation rate fell to 131 homes per week from 139, while the forward order book declined to GBP 1.20 billion from GBP 1.52 billion, figures reported by IG on October 5, 2026.

That contrast gives the October 13 release a clear investor focus: completions are growing, but the order pipeline and reservation rate will show whether demand is rebuilding. The governments Your First Home scheme supports first-time buyers with a 2.5 percent deposit and a 20 percent equity loan, according to Fidelity International.

Consensus target stands above the stock

MarketBeat reported on September 20, 2026, that nine analysts gave Bellway a Moderate Buy consensus, with six Buy ratings and three Hold ratings. The average 12-month price target was GBp 2,522.33, which places the target 21.6 percent above the October 5 price; recent targets ranged from GBp 2,380 to GBp 2,917.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Bellway was last at GBp 2,074 on the London Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026. The price is 28.2 percent below the 52-week high of GBp 2,890, while the 52-week low is GBp 1,715 and market capitalization is GBP 2.3 billion.
