Vistry's home completions fell 9% in 2025 due to market uncertainty, but profits rose on better margins and cost control.

Housebuilder Vistry saw a 9% drop in home completions to 15,700 in 2025, citing market uncertainty after the November autumn budget. Despite a slight revenue decline to £4.2 billion and forward sales falling to £4 billion from £4.4 billion, adjusted pre-tax profit rose to £270 million, up from £263.5 million, driven by improved margins, cost management, and a stronger second half. Shares dipped 7.9% in early trading.
