Eric Schleien on Vistry Group: Mispriced Crown Jewel or Value Trap?


Listen Later

In this solo episode of The Intelligent Investing Podcast, Eric Schleien breaks down the case for why Vistry Group (LSE: VTY) may be one of the most mispriced stocks in the UK market right now — or possibly a classic value trap.

After issuing three profit warnings in late 2024, Vistry’s stock tanked over 60%. But the actual issues were contained within a legacy division the company is actively winding down. Meanwhile, its Partnerships business — a capital-light, 40%+ ROCE cash machine — continues to execute and grow, backed by massive UK government tailwinds.

In this deep-dive, Eric Schleien discusses:

  • Vistry’s misunderstood dual business model

  • What really caused the profit warnings

  • The hidden strength of the Partnerships segment

  • Labour’s UK housing policy and billions in new funding

  • A compelling valuation with 3–4x return potential

  • Why this could be the UK’s version of NVR

  • What risks are real — and which ones the market is overreacting to

    This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in value investing, behavioral mispricings, and the intersection of policy and capital allocation.
