Jefferies maintains an 'underperform' rating on Travis Perkins with a price target of 453p, suggesting an 18% downside from current levels. Despite a stronger balance sheet and focus on operational improvements, management does not expect market conditions to improve through 2026 and early 2027. The company is concentrating on tighter capital discipline and operational efficiency rather than expansion. While the strong cash position offers some advantage, competitive pressures and an oversupplied market limit growth prospects, with no major industry consolidation expected soon.
