Oh dear, two large companies combine and, like an intergalactic "event" only negative matter remains....a case of 1 + 1 = 0.2

Let me say - sp a year ago was 10x today's - so this business has earned its place in the 90% club....and maybe more to come, as they will need to go overseas for cash, if the UK is dry.

I doubt there is a UK Builder with enough dosh to bail-out this dullard. They all thought they could expand until the UK burst with immigrants - yet they consistently went for pricier properties and projects where ( even now), there is some doubt whether there are enough jobs to support new-build developments.

EDIT ( Nov 2015 ) - Seven years on and we're at 183p - so anyone that bought at the all-time Low has done very well - but the Market was fearful and that meant few were Buying. 2009/2010 averaged about 40p - that was a good time if you had the LT cash.
With the rise and yield-multiplier effect, this is looking like Buying it was "probably" inspired.... but it has not regained that earlier Value - which will surely take a lot longer.

Fine GF ,and you ?? ,this is turning ,i hope.

Due for a bounce after the negative press lately and shares moving lower from 32.50p to 25p yesterday during the last 2 weeks

Good note out from Liberum:
"Current trading. We have spoken to one unlisted housebuilder and two quoted peers. The unlisted company told us that its sales rate was 5% slower in September than in August, but that prices had remained firm. The two volume builders confirmed that trading volumes continue to be sluggish, continuing the trend seen since the summer, but, importantly, that prices have remained firm.

Not as bad as Halifax suggests but lacking a catalyst. The sector sold off yesterday as the Halifax House Price Index claimed that house prices had fallen 3.6% in September, but it is worth remembering that Nationwide estimated a +0.1% change for September. We think that the Halifax index may not be as reliable a guide as it once was as that institutions share of lending has fallen significantly. We think that housebuilders are well placed to judge underlying prices and therefore we estimate that house prices have been basically flat since May 2010. This is not a bad outcome and gives the housebuilders a platform from which to improve margins as new (lower cost) land is developed, sites replanned and build costs reduced. But, improving trading could be a catalyst for improving share price performance, and this appears to have been delayed at best.

Too early to change recommendations or estimates. The stock market has already discounted a deteriorating volume environment, as can be seen by the sector underperforming the market by 10% in the last three months, with 7% of that in the last month, so it is probably already too late to be much more cautious. In addition, changing NAV or EPS estimates now is also somewhat premature, in our view, especially if the Spending Review is more benign than feared. We also note that interest rates remain very accommodating to house prices, and are not expected to change anytime soon.

Stock calls. We remain comfortable as buyers of Berkeley, because of the strong balance sheet, London exposure and hidden value. We also see extreme value in Barratt, and would not be unduly concerned about NAV unless house prices fell more than 5%. Bellway is the last of our Buy recommendations (and has performed well since we upgraded) where we expect better performance as cautious institutions return to the sector, but this may prove too optimistic. We have no sell recommendations, but see risks in Persimmon as valuation is a bit more stretched than others and it has significant exposure to Wales, North East and Scotland, where employment is most overweight to the public sector, and we remain concerned that Taylor Woodrows cash flows are still not strong enough to sustain high debt levels."

"Taylor Woodrow" - really?

Well spotted skinny! Somewhat detracts from their credibility.

Liberum talking from their asses. Taylor Woodrow... hahaha...
