Taylor Wimpey stock (ISIN GB0008782301) was last at GBp 81.40 on the LSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:35 p.m. London time, while half year revenue reached GBP 1.683 billion. The stock changed 0.12 percent on the session, giving investors a market value of GBP 2.9 billion.

Revenue grows as profit margin falls

Taylor Wimpey identifies the 2026 half year results as covering the six months to June 28, 2026. That reporting period gives the stock a fresh operating benchmark after a difficult housing market backdrop.

According to Analytics Insight, adjusted operating profit was GBP 129.7 million, down 19.4 percent from the comparable period. Adjusted operating margin declined to 7.7 percent from 9.7 percent, showing that revenue growth did not translate into equal profit growth.

Analyst target stays above the price

MarketBeat reports that Jefferies retained a Buy rating on Taylor Wimpey and assigned a GBp 101 target. Against the GBp 81.40 LSE price, that target is 24.1 percent higher, although the market data show only a 0.12 percent session change on October 2, 2026.

MarketBeat also reports a consensus Hold rating and a GBp 98 average target. The contrast matters: the average target is above the traded price, but the consensus label reflects a split view after several brokers reduced their targets.

Stock remains below yearly high

Taylor Wimpey stock sits within a GBp 74.10 to GBp 116.93 52-week range as of October 2, 2026. At GBp 81.40, the price is 30.4 percent below the yearly high, while the GBP 2.9 billion market capitalization places the company firmly in the listed UK homebuilding segment.

The operating figures and analyst spread point to the same investor question: whether lower margins are temporary or become a longer constraint on earnings recovery. The next valuation checkpoint is the company's ability to convert GBP 1.683 billion of half year revenue into stronger adjusted profit.
