SHOCKING PLUNGE: Persimmon Shares in a FREEFALL!

Hold onto your wallets, folks! Persimmon (LSE: PSN) shares have been CRUSHED, plummeting by a staggering ONE-THIRD over the last five years! Can this beleaguered UK housebuilder fight back, or are they on the road to ruin?

TARIF catastrophe LOOMS!

Despite a tiny uptick in optimism due to easing global tariff tensions, these shares are down a dizzying 7% in the last year alone! And don’t be fooled: just because they’re UK-focused doesn’t mean they’re immune! Inflation fears could bring the Bank of England to a grinding halt on interest rate cuts. Higher mortgage rates? Good luck finding buyers, as demand — and prices — spiral downward.

The cost-of-living crisis has shown us the brutal truth: higher inflation CRUSHES labor and material costs!

DIVIDEND DELIGHT or DISASTROUS DROP?

Guess what? If you’d been brave enough to invest £10,000 in Persimmon shares a DECADE ago, your investment would now be worth a dismal £7,300! That’s a staggering 27% LOSS!

But don’t check out just yet! Those dividends tell a different story! With a whopping 1,475p paid out over the last decade, those 541 shares would have raked in a jaw-dropping £7,980! Even still, when you add that to your dwindling capital, you’re sitting at a total gain of 53%! Not too shabby, right?

But wait—there’s more! In a shocking twist, the company slashed dividends by TWO-THIRDS in March 2023, even after they stuck to the payout despite plummeting profits this year. From a glorious 235p last year to a measly 80p for 2023 and 2024—what a letdown!

RESILIENCE or RUIN?

Don’t count them out just yet! Persimmon’s latest update shows a glimmer of hope, with private sales per site UP just a hair to 0.74 a week! And hold onto your hats—forward sales have skyrocketed by 12% to a staggering £2.34 billion!

But let’s not kid ourselves: the stakes are HIGH! Interest rates remain relentless, the economy is on shaky ground, and shifts in policy could SLASH demand. Still, with low prices and smart money management, Persimmon might just keep the ship afloat!

Analysts predict a modest 10% rise in share price is coming soon! With a projected yield of 4.56% for 2025, total returns could soar up to 15%!

CAN YOU AFFORD IT?

For those daring enough to think long-term, NOW is the time to jump into Persimmon shares! Britain is SCREAMING for homes, and at some point, the market may finally wake up!

But will prospective buyers be able to cough up for them with prices this high?

Investors are holding their breath, praying for the share price to take off! That reduced dividend better step up and compensate for the ongoing capital losses—before it’s too late!
