Persimmon plc

Persimmon plc is one of the United Kingdom's largest residential property developers by revenue and dwelling completions. The company markets homes under its three primary brands: Persimmon Homes, Charles Church, and Westbury Partnerships, focusing on the lower-priced segment of the new-build market where Persimmon Homes' average selling price in 2024 was approximately 20% below the UK new-build national average. Persimmon operates across the full residential property development value chain, encompassing land development, construction, sales, and marketing. In recent years, it has vertically integrated by manufacturing its own bricks, tiles, and timber frames to secure supply, ensure quality, and control build cost inflation. Headquartered in York, England, with around 4,537 employees, Persimmon plays a significant role in the consumer cyclical sector, specifically residential construction, contributing to the UK's housing supply amid ongoing market dynamics. For the year ending December 31, 2024, it reported revenue of £3,200.70 million and profit before tax of £359.10 million, alongside a consistent dividend policy with total payouts of 60.00p per share and a yield around 5%. Persimmon's operations underscore its position as a key player in addressing national housing needs through affordable homebuilding.
