Analyst Comments

Share price breakout suggests recent range has consolidated June’s declines. on 20 Aug Deutsche Bank said “The time is right to buy shares in Bellway”, with London issues overplayed, upgrading the housebuilder to Buy (from Hold), increasing its target price to 3745p (from 3716p) and highlighting its “strong  reputation, upgrades and consistent record of dividend payments”. Solid 4.5% dividend yield.

Risks to Bellway shares include a poor results in October, a UK Houses Price slowdown, the uncertainty of Brexit, the threat of more UK interest rate increases and, of course, broker downgrades.

Brokers/analysts are bullish on the shares with only 5% suggesting Sell. This is supported by 91% of broker price targets suggesting upside from current levels, to a consensus target of 3866p, well above our target of revisiting May/Jun highs of 3436p.

Next Event: Prelim FY Results, 16 Oct; Ex-dividend (late Oct)
