0825 GMT - Bellway is on track to deliver on full-year guidance at the halfway mark but this robust performance is at odds with its subdued share price performance, RBC Capital Markets analyst Anthony Codling says in a note. The underlying housing market appears to be stronger than what investors think it is, Codling says. Despite a rise in mortgage rates, customer demand and pricing remained firm. The forward order book's value of 1.31 billion pounds is 30% above 2024's levels, and implies a forward order book average sale price that is 9% higher year-on-year, he says. Shares are down 6.3% at 2,402 pence and are down 3.6% in the year to date. (anthony.orunagoriainoff@dowjones.com)
