Building Products Round-up - July 2025

Newsflow was reasonably muted across the subsectors in June, however, there were some important trends to pull out of the announcements. Within housebuilders, there is an increasing rhetoric of improved lending availability, highlighted by Bellway, Crest Nicholson and Berkeley, supporting in-line performances and gradually improving completions. This contrasts with low-cost builder MJ Gleeson, which is facing margin difficulties from build cost inflation and flat ASP. Elsewhere, brick manufactur...

In this audio note, Zeus’ Nick Spoliar summarises the investment case for Windar Photonics. Results from WPHO reflect continuing strong order flow, with results aligned to the prior year as announced previously; but this cannot hide significant underlying progress, with new customer wins in North America and continuing progress well beyond the company’s original V82 turbine heartland.

ZEUS PODCAST: A Different Perspective podcast: Hugh Hendry, The Acid C...

This week the legendary Acid Capitalist Hugh Hendry joins Nick for a truly different perspective. Previously at Baillie Gifford and Odey Asset Management Hugh’s Eclectica macro hedge fund was famously up 50% in 2003 and up 50% in the month of October in 2008. Monikered as a contrarian investor, Hugh certainly has some very different views as Nick runs through a tally of macro thoughts and themes.
