I usually purchase shares with a view to holding them for a decade, or extra. Listed below are two FTSE 100 shares I plan to carry in my portfolio for the subsequent 25 years, not less than.

Barratt Redrow

Housebuilders like Barratt Redrow (LSE:BTRW) stay largely out of trend with buyers as we speak. Justifiable fears over price inflation and future rates of interest weighed closely on the sector within the ultimate months of 2024 and nonetheless do.

But I’ve clung on to my Barratt shares and plan to proceed holding them for the lengthy haul. Following its merger with Redrow final 12 months, it’s by far the UK’s largest builder by quantity. And it has plans to supercharge manufacturing to make the most of the market upturn when it comes.

It intends to ramp residence completions up to 22,000 a 12 months over the medium time period, the agency introduced at autumn’s AGM. That’s up from the deliberate 16,600-17,200 properties it expects for the present monetary 12 months (ending June).

After home costs moved again into progress final 12 months, trade consultants are largely assured of a sustained market restoration. Property agent Hamptons, as an example, expects common home price progress of three% this 12 months, accelerating to three.5% for 2026 and remaining strong at 2.5% the next 12 months.

Pushed by fast inhabitants progress, I’m anticipating home costs to take care of their regular climb by way of the approaching a long time. And I consider Barratt Redrow, which can also be set to profit from substantial post-merger revenues and value synergies, is within the field seat to capitalise on this.

Coca-Cola HBC

Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Firm (LSE:CCH) gives a scrumptious mix of progress potential and enduring resilience that I couldn’t resist.

As its title suggests, the FTSE 100 agency bottles and sells a few of the world’s largest drinks manufacturers. Alongside Coke, it produces different heavyweight names like Sprite, Fanta and Monster Power.

This offers me as an investor with glorious peace of thoughts. These labels stay in excessive demand in any respect factors of the financial cycle, reflecting their fame for high quality and fashionability. Such qualities additionally permit Coca-Cola HBC to lift costs with out struggling a painful drop in volumes, permitting the agency to develop earnings over time.

Its resilience was demonstrated in November’s most up-to-date buying and selling assertion, which confirmed natural revenues up 13.9% within the third quarter and natural income per case up 9.5%. This was regardless of the powerful financial circumstances and inflationary pressures in a lot of markets.

But, as I say, resilience isn’t Coca-Cola HBC’s solely enticing attribute. It additionally has distinctive progress potential, due to its large geographic footprint that additionally straddles fast-growing rising and growing economies in Japanese Europe and Africa.

On the draw back, the bottling big faces important market competitors from the likes of PepsiCo and could be very depending on its relationship with US-based Coca-Cola Co. However given its powerhouse manufacturers and powerful report of innovation, I consider it could proceed to thrive within the a long time forward.
