Persimmon (LSE: PSN) lifts off 1,012p low; chart exaggerates selloff

Persimmon share price falls 6% after ex-dividend as UK rate worries return

Persimmon Plc shares fell about 6.2% on Thursday and ranked among the FTSE 100’s weakest performers as UK housebuilders gave back part of the previous session’s rally. The rate-sensitive homebuilding index dropped 2.4%, against a 0.87% decline in the blue-chip benchmark. The screen move looks worse than the fresh selling. Persimmon began trading without entitlement to its 40-pence final dividend — “ex-dividend” means a new buyer will not receive that payment. Adjusting Wednesday’s 1,119-pence close for the distribution gives a comparable starting point of 1,079 pence, making the underlying fall about 2.6%.
