Panmure Liberum has named Persimmon PLC its top housebuilder pick, maintaining a 'buy' rating and a 1,694p price target. The broker expects the UK government's Your First Home scheme, aimed at supporting first-time buyers and modest income purchasers, to increase new home completions. Persimmon's focus on lower-priced homes and northern England exposure positions it well to benefit, with a forecasted small margin decline aided by in-house manufacturing savings. The company's private completions order book rose to £1.31 billion by August, and 2026 completions are expected to meet the high end of guidance despite mixed market conditions including falling housing starts and rising mortgage rates.
