Persimmon's recent milestones

On August 6, 2026, Persimmon reported first-half results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The company sold 5,189 new homes, generated GBP 1.73 billion of group revenue and reported GBP 168.0 million of profit before tax, according to Persimmon.

On September 28, 2026, Persimmon received consent for the next phase of its Valley Park development in Didcot, covering 400 homes, including 109 units reserved for a local housing association, according to Persimmon. The three milestones show how the group's current operating story combines reported delivery with a continuing flow of planning approvals.

What does the approval mean for delivery?

The 80-home scheme is smaller than the 400-home Valley Park phase, but it includes a defined affordable-housing component and infrastructure spending. That combination gives the announcement an operating dimension beyond a planning headline, although construction timing and sales conversion remain important variables for future results.

Two dates shape the next update

Persimmon's interim dividend of 20p per share goes ex-dividend on October 15, 2026, with the record date on October 16, 2026, according to Persimmon. AJ Bell lists November 12, 2026, as the date for Persimmon's next trading update.
