In this solo episode of The Intelligent Investing Podcast, Eric Schleien breaks down the case for why Vistry Group (LSE: VTY) may be one of the most mispriced stocks in the UK market right now — or possibly a classic value trap.
After issuing three profit warnings in late 2024, Vistry’s stock tanked over 60%. But the actual issues were contained within a legacy division the company is actively winding down. Meanwhile, its Partnerships business — a capital-light, 40%+ ROCE cash machine — continues to execute and grow, backed by massive UK government tailwinds.
In this deep-dive, Eric Schleien discusses:
-
Vistry’s misunderstood dual business model
-
What really caused the profit warnings
-
The hidden strength of the Partnerships segment
-
Labour’s UK housing policy and billions in new funding
-
A compelling valuation with 3–4x return potential
-
Why this could be the UK’s version of NVR
-
What risks are real — and which ones the market is overreacting to
This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in value investing, behavioral mispricings, and the intersection of policy and capital allocation.
