(Reuters) â UK homebuilder Taylor Wimpey Plc on Wednesday joined bigger rivals in forecasting sustained demand in the medium term and returned to a half-year profit as Britainâs housing sector boom stands to outlast the tax holiday period.
Britainâs third-largest homebuilder forecast 2021 operating profit of about 820 million pounds ($1.14 billion), above the top end of the company-compiled consensus range of 756-808 million pounds.
Pre-tax profit for the six months ended July 4 came in at 287.5 million pounds, compared to a loss of 39.8 million pounds in the pandemic-hit period a year earlier.
