  • Persimmon: Worst FTSE 100 Share in 5 Years Faces Uncertain Recovery
    June 4, 2026, 10:19 AM EDT. Persimmon (LSE: PSN), the UK housebuilder, has been the worst-performing FTSE 100 stock over five years, losing 66% of its market value amid rising mortgage rates and a challenging housing market. Shares peaked above £33 in early 2020 but are down nearly 20% over the past year. Dividend cuts from 225p to 60p reflect stress from economic conditions and Bank of England base rate hikes to 5.25%. Trading at 1,075.5p with a 12.2 price-to-earnings ratio and 5.6% dividend yield, Persimmon's valuation suggests a bargain for value investors. With improving sales and revenues, the company risks dropping from the FTSE 100 to FTSE 250 but may be at an inflection point. Investors must weigh risks of the housing market against the potential for recovery.
