Persimmon Plc Hits Day High with Strong 6.95% Intraday Surge

Persimmon Plc has experienced a significant uptick in its stock performance, gaining 6.95% on November 24, 2025. The stock reached an intraday high of GBP 13.00, marking a notable moment in its trading activity. This performance stands in contrast to the FTSE 100, which saw a modest increase of just 0.13% on the same day.
Over the past week, Persimmon has shown a 2.31% increase, while its monthly performance reflects an 8.99% rise. However, the company has faced challenges over the longer term, with a 3.5% increase over the past year, significantly lagging behind the FTSE 100's 17.06% return.

Despite the recent gains, Persimmon's long-term growth metrics indicate a more complex picture. The company has reported negative results for five consecutive quarters, with a decline in operating profit and modest net sales growth. The current market capitalization stands at GBP 3,943 million, with a P/E ratio of 14.00 and a dividend yield of 4.87%. These figures highlight the ongoing challenges and performance dynamics within the mid-cap furniture and home furnishing sector.
