on cash generation and shareholder returns, rather than chasing short-
term profits. £112m of the £640m returns between September 2026 and
September 2030 have been spent - we forecast ~£674m, broadly split
as 2/3rds buyback, 1/3rd dividend. We have upped our expectation of
buybacks vs dividends, given the lower recent share price, and higher-than
expected buyback with FY26 results illustrating management's preference
for buybacks over dividends.
Changes to our estimates
We update our estimates to account for FY26 results, and make minor edits
to our FY27-FY28 estimates (-2% to FY27 PBT, +1% to FY28 PBT). We assign
more weight to buybacks vs dividends as part of Berkeley's near-term
£640m shareholder returns strategy, which results in our TBVPs estimates
rising 4% in FY27e and 7% in FY28e. We roll forward our valuation year
