Taylor Wimpey stock was last at GBp 81.40 on the London Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026 at 4:35 p.m. London time, up 0.12 percent on the session. The latest half-year update covers the six months to June 28, 2026, and shows revenue growth alongside a sharper decline in profitability, a combination that keeps operating margins central to the investment case.

Revenue grows while profit narrows

Taylor Wimpey identifies its 2026 half-year results as covering the six months to June 28, 2026. According to Analytics Insight, revenue reached GBP 1.683 billion, up 1.7 percent from the comparable period.

The counterpoint is operating leverage. Adjusted operating profit was GBP 129.7 million, while the adjusted operating margin fell to 7.7 percent from 9.7 percent, a decline of 2.0 percentage points, according to Analytics Insight.

Completions set the operating test

The first-half operating data show why revenue growth has not translated into stronger margins. Group completions, including joint ventures, totaled 4,986 homes, compared with 5,294 homes in the comparable period, while the order book stood at 6,882 homes as of June 28, 2026, according to Analytics Insight. The figures point to a business where sales volume and conversion matter as much as selling prices.

Taylor Wimpey guided to 10,600 to 10,800 UK completions for 2026. The same update reported an order book value of GBP 1.929 billion, excluding joint ventures, giving investors a concrete measure of forward sales visibility.

Analysts keep a cautious consensus

According to MarketScreener on September 10, 2026, UBS began coverage with a Sell rating and a GBp 75 price target. The page also lists a Hold consensus from 21 analysts and an average target of GBP 0.8767.

The share price sits inside its current 52-week range of GBp 74.10 to GBp 116.93. With the stock last at GBp 81.40 and market capitalization at GBP 2.8 billion on October 2, 2026, the market is valuing the company close to the lower part of that range while the half-year numbers show revenue resilience but weaker margin conversion.

Stock trades near the lower range

Taylor Wimpey stock was last at GBp 81.40 on October 2, 2026 at 4:35 p.m. London time, with a daily change of 0.12 percent and volume of 12,491,792 shares. The October 8, 2026 ex-dividend date listed by MarketScreener adds a near-term calendar point for shareholders, while margins and completions remain the more important operating measures.
