Der Entwickler Berkeley Homes plant ein Gerichtsverfahren, nachdem seine Pläne für eine Shopping-Mall in Peckham in 867 neue Wohnungen umgewandelt wurden, vom Planungsausschuss abgelehnt wurden. Der Planungsinstruktor Matthew Shrigley nannte das Projekt "übermäßig dominierend" und "visuell störend", da es die Sicht auf den Peckham-Turm beeinträchtigen würde. Shrigley gab an, dass der Schaden für die Erbstücke in der Gegend die Vorteile des Projekts überwiegen würden, auch wenn er die "kritische Notwendigkeit" zur Errichtung von Häusern in der Hauptstadt anerkannte.

BofA also moved to a more positive stance in late March, suggesting it sees value support at current levels and a risk and reward balance that still appeals compared with peers.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

JPMorgan and Berenberg both trimmed price targets on 2 April, signalling that some analysts are reassessing upside potential and tempering expectations around valuation. Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank followed up with downgrades in April, reinforcing a more cautious tone around growth prospects and the scope for further rerating.

12.04.26 07:05:10 Insider Buying: Berkeley Group Holdings Executive Chairman Bought UK£223k Of Shares

Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!

Investors who take an interest in The Berkeley Group Holdings plc (LON:BKG) should definitely note that the Executive Chairman, Robert Charles Perrins, recently paid UK£31.79 per share to buy UK£223k worth of the stock. However, it only increased shareholding by a small percentage, and it wasn't a huge purchase by absolute value, either.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.

Berkeley Group Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent purchase by Executive Chairman Robert Charles Perrins was not their only acquisition of Berkeley Group Holdings shares this year. They previously made an even bigger purchase of UK£500k worth of shares at a price of UK£38.46 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than UK£34.48 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price.

In the last twelve months Berkeley Group Holdings insiders were buying shares, but not selling.

Insider Ownership Of Berkeley Group Holdings

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders.

Insiders own 1.7% of Berkeley Group Holdings shares, worth about UK£56m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.

So What Do The Berkeley Group Holdings Insider Transactions Indicate?

The recent insider purchases are heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of Berkeley Group Holdings we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future. So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing.

01.04.26 11:28:59 Building in London is becoming impossible, warns housing giant

Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!

Rob Perrins (right), chief executive of Berkeley Group, says red tape has made London effectively uninvestable - Jonathan Brady/Reuters

Building homes in London is becoming impossible because of high taxes and red tape, a major housebuilder has warned.

Berkeley Group said on Wednesday that it was halting new land purchases and reducing investment in its building projects, most of which are in the capital or other urban areas.

The company said the conflict in Iran, which is pushing up costs, and a deteriorating economic outlook contributed to its decision to pull back from the market.

However, Rob Perrins, the chief executive of Berkeley, criticised red tape and taxes that he said risked making London effectively uninvestable.

Berkeley said land prices were becoming “overheated” because it was too easy for other businesses to bid for land. Mr Perrins said that Big Yellow Group, the self-storage giant, is his “biggest competitor at the moment”.

“The Government needs to prioritise housebuilding land and not allow Big Yellow to buy all the land, because London will have no [new] homes, fundamentally, if we carry on as we are,” he said.

“You can’t keep increasing taxation on fewer and fewer houses. We have three types of taxes that are too high – development tax, customer-facing tax and corporate tax, which other land uses don’t get.”

In its update to the market, Berkeley criticised “an unprecedented increase in cost and regulation, at a time of increasing interest rates and faltering consumer confidence, amidst prolonged geopolitical and macro-economic volatility and uncertainty”.

Mr Perrins criticised the building safety levy, a tax aimed at funding cladding remediation work and the community infrastructure levy, a charge that councils use to fund infrastructure such as schools and health services.

He said: “The building safety levy should be dropped. We already pay a residential property developer tax of 4pc. Our corporation tax is [effectively] 29pc. We’ve got all the employee taxes.

“There’s a huge amount of what I call customer-facing taxes [such as] stamp duty, and then there’s a huge amount of development tax.

“The Government is not focusing and prioritising affordable housing, [but] focusing on tax-raising measures like the Community Infrastructure Levy.”

Building safety planning rules had added around a year to the time taken to gain planning approval and begin construction on projects, Berkeley said.

Mr Perrins said the quagmire in London meant Labour’s manifesto pledge to build 1.5 million homes by the end of this parliament was looking increasingly far-fetched.

Underpinning that ambition is the Mayor of London’s target to build 88,000 homes a year in the capital.

Story Continues

Mr Perrins said: “If London has a requirement for 88,000 homes, and we’re building 10pc of those, it probably sums up how difficult it is for the Government to hit its target. It just puts it in complete context.”

Steve Reed, the Housing Secretary and Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, unveiled an emergency package to boost housebuilding in the capital in October. Reforms include cutting the proportion of affordable homes required for a site from 35pc to 20pc.

Mr Perrins said the temporary measures were to be “applauded”, but warned their success would depend entirely on how “forward-thinking” each borough is.

“My worry is, if boroughs don’t want to follow the messaging, it will not change behaviours on the ground,” he said.

“From a policy point of view, I can’t fault [the measures] … but if local authorities won’t implement them, then it will not translate into new houses quickly.”

He pointed to recent efforts to build 586 homes in Kingston, which were refused by the council after five years of negotiations.

Mr Perrins said the Government needed to consider more measures, such as reducing taxes and regulation on builders, and bringing in demand stimulus through Help to Buy-style schemes for buyers and stamp duty reductions.

Shares in Berkeley plummeted by nearly 18pc on Wednesday morning, marking the steepest fall in a decade.

The housebuilder cut its profit forecasts following the update. It now expects to generate £1.4bn of pre-tax profit in the four years between 2027 and 2030, roughly equivalent to £350m a year.

Anthony Codling of RBC Capital Markets said the new forecast was around a third lower than previous estimates.

Berkeley said it would redirect its focus to developing its existing land holdings and buying plots through joint-venture agreements, rather than on its own.

Its existing land holdings consist of sites for more than 50,000 homes, with a further pipeline of more than 10,000 in London and the South East.

Aynsley Lammin of Investec said London was the “most difficult area” in the UK for housebuilding and said Berkeley’s decisions were “reflective of the difficult situations” builders face in the capital.

“The affordability constraints are greater. If you’re a first-time buyer, just the hurdle to raise a deposit to get the mortgage is that much more difficult in London,” he said.

Data published by Nationwide last week showed the average first-time buyer must put down a deposit of £44,800 for a home, well above the national average of £23,000.

Mr Lammin said: “Investor appetite has waned as well, particularly from overseas investors, with all of the regulations on investment properties, buy-to-let - that’s been a big factor for Berkeley Group. London was more of an investor market and that’s become very difficult.

“Developers also face more regulatory and cost burdens in London… Some of it is obviously economy-wide, but it’s concentrated and magnified in London. Everything just becomes that much more difficult.”

16.03.26 13:40:05 Are Investors Undervaluing Berkeley Group (BKGFY) Right Now?

Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!

While the proven Zacks Rank places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find strong stocks, we also know that investors tend to develop their own individual strategies. With this in mind, we are always looking at value, growth, and momentum trends to discover great companies.

Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.

Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.

One company value investors might notice is Berkeley Group (BKGFY). BKGFY is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an A for Value. The stock has a Forward P/E ratio of 11.4. This compares to its industry's average Forward P/E of 11.84. Over the past year, BKGFY's Forward P/E has been as high as 14.89 and as low as 10.11, with a median of 11.66.

We should also highlight that BKGFY has a P/B ratio of 1.06. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock's P/B looks attractive against its industry's average P/B of 1.27. BKGFY's P/B has been as high as 1.52 and as low as 0.95, with a median of 1.10, over the past year.

These are just a handful of the figures considered in Berkeley Group's great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that BKGFY is an impressive value stock right now.

Berkeley Group (BKG.L)

In London, shares in FTSE 100-listed (^FTSE) housebuilder dipped nearly 3% lower in early trading, after warning that the Middle East conflict was “weighing heavily on risk sentiment”.

Berkeley re-affirmed its pre-tax profit guidance of £450m ($597m) for the current financial year in a trading statement on Friday.

At the same time, the company warned the trading environment between November and February has “remained constrained by the impact on consumer confidence of geo-political events and macro-economic uncertainty”.

“However, sales enquiries remain good and the value of underlying reservations has been recovering towards the levels seen over the summer prior to the pre-budget hiatus,” Berkeley said.

“The emerging situation in the Middle East is weighing heavily on risk sentiment and we await to see the impact of this on the market,” the housebuilder said.

“While reaffirming guidance, we are aware of the risk of a further deterioration in macro conditions with the potential for higher inflation in the near term and for interest rates to remain higher for longer.”

BP (BP.L)

Oil major BP (BP.L) was the biggest riser on the FTSE 100 on Friday morning, with shares edging up 1.5%, boosted by the jump in crude prices.

Brent crude (BZ=F) futures rose 1% to $97.63 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) climbed 2% to $97.60.

Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “Traders are continuing to weigh the fallout from the conflict with Iran, with no signs of de‑escalation and production disruptions keeping supply concerns front of mind.

“With the Strait of Hormuz essentially closed, any measures to relieve price pressure are likely to be little more than a temporary stopgap.”

12.03.26 19:05:37 How The Berkeley Group (LSE:BKG) Story Is Shifting With JPMorgan’s Steady £43.15 View

Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!

Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge.

The latest analyst update keeps Berkeley Group Holdings' fair value effectively unchanged at £43.15, reinforcing a steady price target rather than a major reset. Bulls link this £43.15 figure to JPMorgan's upgrade and argue it reflects refined assumptions rather than a new view of the business, while bears see it as largely model housekeeping. As you read on, you will see how to interpret this evolving narrative and what it might mean for your own view on the shares.

Analyst Price Targets don't always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value Berkeley Group Holdings.

What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

JPMorgan's recent upgrade highlights a view that Berkeley Group's current share price is out of line with its assessed worth. The £43.15 fair value is used as a key anchor. The upgrade suggests that, in JPMorgan's framework, the updated valuation reflects refined modelling of the business rather than a wholesale change in conviction. Some investors read this as a sign of underlying confidence in the existing thesis.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

More cautious readers of the JPMorgan work see the revised numbers as largely technical housekeeping. They argue that a fair value close to prior levels does not address bigger questions around execution risk and the timing of cash generation. Sceptics also point out that a fair value anchored around £43.15 still leaves limited room for error in the assumptions embedded in JPMorgan's model. This could matter if build costs, sales rates or planning outcomes differ from expectations.

See how Berkeley Group Holdings' fair value stacks up across multiple valuation models — not just analyst targets.

Revenue Growth shifts from a 16.25% decline to a 16.32% decline in the updated model. Profit Margin is essentially flat, moving from 14.79% to 14.79% with only a very small recalibration. Future P/E moves from 13.82x to 13.77x in the latest set of assumptions. The Discount Rate moves from 9.36% to 9.22%, slightly increasing the present value of projected cash flows.
