RBC Capital also said Vistry's partnership strategy was "yet to deliver the goods", while open market sales were soft, leading current CEO to demand "that each business go forth and double their sales rates".

The Canadian bank, which has an 'underperform' rating on the stock, said it was "surprised" that at this "pivotal moment" the architect of Vistry's current strategy has "called time", and noted that it expects "continued underperformance" until a new CEO "makes their mark".
