BUY

Sometimes momentum works. Balance sheet is strong, home inventories are weak, and fundamentals are strong overall. Add to this cheaper capital/lower rates. The outlook looks good.

BUY

They reported last week: orders were up a lousy 1%, not 9% as expected, but gross margins expanded 50 basis points to beat expectations and added more buybacks. Trades at 12x PE.

BUY

A decade-long theme, not short term is in housing, if interest rates fall from 6.7% to 5.5% (likely in 2025). She likes DR Horton, but it's up 87% the past year, though is cheap now and gross margins are good.

BUY

Is up 25% this year. Likes it for lower interest rates, and their homes are affordable (70% of their homes cost under $400,000) during a housing shortage.

BUY
Tech analysis by Bob Lang

Is building a base now after a monster move higher, breaking above $200. Their uptrend is cooling down, but their Chaikin Moneyflow remains strong. After going sideways, Lang predicts this will hit $250-275 in 2025.

DON'T BUY

Is -7% this year. It's all about 30-year mortgages above 7%. 69% of their delivered homes this year were below $400,000. But it's a tough hill to climb with these high rates.

DON'T BUY

The homebuilders were in a tough spot entering this year, because of higher interest rates. Also, 13% of the construction industry consists of undocumented workers. If Trump cracks down on such workers, these will drive up labour costs and home prices.

WAIT

It hit a new low. 69% of their homes cost under $400,000, so they appeal to first-time homebuyers. This is wait and see.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

She added more, because it got so cheap at 9x forward PE. She expects housing to rebound. In fact, Home Depot saw its first positive comp in 8 quarters.
