Persimmon Q4 EPS of $0.825 on $2.87B Revenue, P/E 15.42
Persimmon reported Q4 EPS of $0.825, missing estimates by three cents, on revenue of $2.87 billion, just shy of forecasted $2.88 billion. Valuation metrics include a P/E of 15.42, EV/S of 1.12 and current ratio of 3.86.
1. Q4 Financial Results
In its fourth-quarter reporting period, Persimmon generated earnings per share of $0.825, falling three cents short of the $0.828 estimate, on revenue of $2.87 billion versus forecasted $2.88 billion. The slight revenue and EPS shortfalls indicate a marginally weaker top-line performance than projected.
2. Valuation Metrics
The company’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio stands at 15.42, while its price-to-sales ratio is 1.16 and enterprise value-to-sales ratio is 1.12. A notably high enterprise value-to-operating cash flow ratio of 327.02 could signal stretched valuation relative to cash flow.
3. Liquidity and Short-term Health
Persimmon maintains a robust current ratio of 3.86, highlighting ample short-term assets to cover its liabilities. This strong liquidity position supports operational flexibility and suggests a solid balance sheet foundation.
