Persimmon plc (GB0030927254) is trading at GBX 1,149.50, with a market value of £3.69 billion and a 52-week range of GBX 947.40 to GBX 1,552.00 as of August 20, 2026. The London-listed housebuilder also reported 2025 housing revenue of £3,312.0 million and profit from operations of £472.1 million, giving investors a fresh look at scale and margin discipline.
Latest trading snapshot
The share price snapshot also showed a daily move of -1.03% and volume of 779,187 shares as of August 20, 2026. That combination leaves the stock below the upper end of its 52-week band, while analysts on the same snapshot page carried a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and a target of GBX 2,564.30.
For the year, the same market page showed Persimmon stock down 15.2% from GBX 1,358.50 at the start of 2026. The gap between the current quote and the consensus target is still wide enough to keep valuation and execution in the same conversation.
What the numbers show
The most recent five-year record shows unit sales rising to 11,905 in 2025 from 10,664 in 2024, while average selling price increased to £278,203 from £268,499. Profit before tax improved to £445.6 million from £395.1 million, and basic earnings per share increased to 100.7p from 92.1p.
That is a clear quantified comparison: 2025 housing revenue rose 15.6% year over year to £3,312.0 million, and profit from operations increased 16.5% to £472.1 million. The same record also shows cash return and dividend per share holding at 60.0p, which keeps shareholder distributions visible in the capital return story.
Investor focus
Persimmon's business model centers on family housing under Persimmon Homes, Charles Church and Westbury Partnerships, while its broader portfolio also includes FibreNest and Space4. That mix matters because the 2025 record ties higher revenue to a larger ASP and more units sold, not just a single metric swing.
The company still looks like a cyclical UK housebuilder first, but the 2025 figures suggest that volume recovery and pricing have both contributed to the latest earnings base. For market readers, the key question is whether the current GBX 1,149.50 quote can narrow the gap toward the GBX 2,564.30 consensus target if trading conditions stay supportive.
