Vistry preview: reputation repair is key after last year's profit warnings

  • Vistry Group PLC (LSE:VTY) is still looking to repair its reputation after three profit warnings last year, though the government's plans for increased social housing spending are helping bring some investors back.  Its shares are one of the best-performing in the housebuilding sector so far this year, helped by the government announcing plans to allocate £39 billion to affordable homes in coming years, a key area of focus for the FTSE 250 group's bow.
