Barratt Developments stock was last at GBp 318.20 on the London Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026, up 0.16 percent on the session and 22.0 percent above the 52-week low of GBp 235.40. The latest annual results show a mixed operating picture, with higher revenue and completions offset by lower adjusted profit.

Revenue rises as profit falls

According to TradingView reporting the company announcement dated September 16, 2026, Barratt Redrow delivered 17,667 home completions in FY2026, 5.0 percent more than the aggregated FY2025 figure. Revenue increased 6.6 percent to GBP 6,055.0 million.

The profit trend was less favorable. Adjusted profit before tax before purchase-price-allocation adjustments fell 7.1 percent to GBP 572.8 million, while the adjusted operating margin declined to 9.9 percent from 10.5 percent in the aggregated prior-year comparison.

Guidance highlights the housing pressure

The company reduced its FY2027 total completion guidance to 17,500 to 17,900 homes from 17,700 to 18,200 previously, citing planning delays. Average sales outlets are now expected at 405, down from 415, while the company expects a GBP 400.0 million FY2027 capital return including a GBP 386.0 million buyback.

Forward sales still provide a measurable counterweight. As of September 6, 2026, the order book stood at 11,200 homes worth GBP 3,337.6 million, compared with 10,593 homes worth GBP 3,220.4 million on September 7, 2025, an increase of 3.6 percent in value.

Analysts see limited upside

According to Investing.com on October 2, 2026, the consensus rating was Buy among 19 analysts, with 12 Buy ratings, seven Holds and no Sell ratings. The average 12-month target was GBp 333.84, with a high of GBp 410.00 and a low of GBp 255.00, placing the average target 4.92 percent above the October 2 price.

A more cautious broker view came from Jefferies. MarketBeat reported on September 28, 2026, that Jefferies raised its target from GBp 303.00 to GBp 323.00 while keeping a Hold rating. The gap between the current quotation and broker views reflects the tension between stronger volume and pressure on margins, planning and affordability.
