Taylor Wimpey Fundamentals (TW.)

I have been wondering what to do with this one for a few weeks.

206p seems a resistance?

Could be right!

He is a new independent non- exec director as from 9/12/15 so this is his first purchase so I wouldn't read too much into that Fred.

Agreed, but it is better than a sell.

TW's profit

StockMarketWire.com

CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK

"The UK housing market remained robust during late 2015 and has strengthened into the beginning of 2016. The market continues to show price growth and very good sales rates across most geographies.

"In central London, the market is stable, with flat prices and sales rates returning to a more normal level.

"The net private sales rate for the year to date (w/e 21 February 2016) is 0.77 (2015 equivalent period: 0.68). As at 21 February 2016, we are c.50% forward sold for private completions for 2016 with an excellent total order book of �2,030 million (2015 equivalent period: �1,630 million), excluding joint ventures.

"We have been successfully operating to our strategy for five years now, running the business according to our underlying principles. During that time we have invested heavily in land and people development.

"In 2015, we delivered record operating results, and returned over �308 million to shareholders by way of total dividend. Today, Taylor Wimpey has one of the largest strategic land pipelines in the sector with c.107k potential plots, together with a high-quality short term landbank of c.76k plots.

"The success of our strategy over the last five years, partially helped by a stable and positive market, has given us the opportunity to focus on continuously improving our business processes and systems, including our customer service, ensuring consistency across our 24 business units."

Deutsche Bank today reaffirms its buy investment rating on Taylor Wimpey PLC (LON:TW.) and raised its price target to 247p (from 233p).

Anyone unhappy, like I am, about the drop in SP over the last few days, may feel a little happier by looking at the after hour trade reports for the last week.

This stock has traded sideways (within a range) for nearly a year. Wouldn't that indicate that it is fairly valued?

Shortage of housing, and drop due to over sale before recent change of taxation.

Cockeyed market due to Brexit.

Have a look at projected earnings etc.

But this market is all over the place.

Another, interest to me is sales posted past the close.

TEF hasn't faired too bad today compared to the rest .

Taylor Wimpey remains on track

StockMarketWire.com

Taylor Wimpey said it remains on track to deliver good progress towards all of its medium-term targets in 2016. The company was performing well against a positive housing market, it said.

"The UK housing market continues to be underpinned by good mortgage availability and employment prospects," it said in a trading update.

"As at 24 April 2016 we are c.70% forward sold for 2016 private completions, positioning us well for the remainder of the year and beyond. As expected, the rate of build cost inflation has reduced, and we continue to anticipate underlying build cost increases of 3-4% in 2016.

"We believe that the recent House of Lords amendments to the Starter Homes provisions in the Housing and Planning Bill reduce the future risk of the scheme. If passed, these changes will ensure that the Starter Homes initiative provides an incremental improvement to the housing market.

"The uncertainty surrounding the European Union (EU) referendum has not impacted trading to date, and underlying demand remains solid across all of our geographies.

"Due to our customer base and supply chain being based principally in the UK, together with our strong order book, we are well equipped to react to any potential changes in the market that may be caused by the EU referendum."

It's all Well and Good TW. saying they have a progressive dividend policy, when the div. is pathetically low DYOR. The extra-cash hand-out (May?) is hardly a correction, however welcome.
The Annual Report sp-graph conveniently forgets these shares were close to £4 prior to 2005.
EDIT(25Jn2016)-Well "BrExit" has done for us! TW down ~30% allowed DIR Baroness to buy 2x£20k-worth - a nice discount.....
I read ( see posts below), from FT..... "....UK housebuilders – including Taylor Wimpey – have seen their share prices pare back since January after a three-year winning streak, due to concerns that foreign investors would be deterred from the property market it Britain’s left the EU....."
So it is particularly odd that TW has been so severly punished - but that's Markets for you. Did anyone else buy . . . -or maybe wait for a further fall, if/when the French get nasty?

and fred was probably not showing signs of dementia at that time either

TW. up 5% This am.


http://www.ft.com/fastft/2016/05/17/taylor-wimpey-upgrades-forecast-raises-dividend/

Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest housebuilders, has upgraded its profit guidance and said it will boost its dividend payout, citing a “very positive” housing market with “high” consumer demand and confidence.

The FTSE 100 group said ahead of an investor day that it was confident in its business “against the backdrop of a strong, growing housing market”, after last month reporting that its order book was up 7.5 per cent from the same time last year.

It raised its guidance on operating profit margins to 22 per cent for the period between 2016 and 2018, and said that it will boost its total dividend payout for 2017 by 26 per cent to 13.8p a share, subject to shareholder approval. In 2015 its operating profit margin was 20.3 per cent and its total dividend payout 11p a share.

Taylor Wimpey said:

We believe that the land market is structurally different in this cycle, with fewer players and higher barriers to entry with increased upfront capital costs and expertise required to progress sites through the planning system.

The construction company said last month that its trading has been unaffected by the upcoming referendum on European Union membership, despite a series of estate agents warning of a fall-off in transactions.

UK housebuilders – including Taylor Wimpey – have seen their share prices pare back since January after a three-year winning streak, due to concerns that foreign investors would be deterred from the property market it Britain’s left the EU.

Analysts have warned that uncertainty around the referendum could damp demand for property assets just as the supply of high-end homes increases.

Doing well.

Worth a look!
