(Sharecast News) - The recent selloff in the housebuilding sector presents opportunities with significant growth and yield attractions, Citi said in a note on Tuesday.
The bank noted that inflationary pressures, supply chain challenges and the impact of potential rate hikes have dominated investor concerns recently.
"This despite the sector's resilient operating performance and robust demand trends, outweighing an ambitious medium term growth trajectory with average annualised net asset growth projected at circa +14% per annum for 2022- 23e," it said.
"The current valuation of a P/B of 1.4x for CY22e reflects a discount of over 25% to implied multiples on our estimates and offers investors significant value over the medium term."
Citi said housebuilders with strong medium-term growth targets, namely Barratt, Bellway and Taylor Wimpey remain its preferred picks. It also has buy ratings on Persimmon, Berkeley Group and Redrow.

IN BRIEF: Pod Point hails contract win with housebuilder Redrow
Pod Point Group Holdings PLC - London-based electric vehicle charging services provider - Wins a multi-year preferred partnership agreement with FTSE 250-listed housebuilder Redrow PLC. Pod Point has been selected by Redrow to provide EV charging infrastructure for the developer's England and Wales divisions, "which collectively build over 5700 new homes each year". "The deal builds upon the companies' close collaboration since 2018, during which time Pod Point has supplied 2,000 chargepoints to Redrow, driven by continued developments in local and national climate legislation. These regulations include the notable ruling from June 2022 that all new residential developments in England must have at least one 7 kilowatt charge point for each residence with a parking space," Pod Point adds. "The group now has commercial relationships with a growing number of the largest housebuilders in the UK," the company says, noting a similar deal with Barratt Developments PLC.
