In the past two years, persimmon has struggled to hit its pre-pandemic highs of 2019. In 2021, the company indicated that its revenue had reached £3.61 billion ($4.89 billion), a big improvement from 2020 and only 1 percent behind the 2019 revenues. The company also indicated that it struggled with the Omicron covid variant, which in the end affected their bottom line. All these factors are also likely to affect Persimmon’s future prices.
My Persimmon technical analysis price prediction also shows that the prices are likely to continue with their downward trend. Using the pitchfork indicator, as shown in the daily chart below, we can see the prices have traded closer to the middle of the indicator. Therefore, expect the prices to continue with the downward trend for the foreseeable future.
Persimmon shares have some of the best dividend payouts in the market today. Long-term investors looking for a dividend yield of up to 9.8 percent will find Persimmon as a perfect investment opportunity. However, for short-term traders, my fundamental and technical analysis shows that prices are likely to continue with the downward trend.
