TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate GRBK, a land developer and homebuilder focused on the US southern states, as a TOP PICK.  Analysts prefer that the company owns most of its land within a low-leveraged balance sheet.  It trades at 7x earnings, 1.6x book and supports a 26% ROE.  We continue to recommend holding a tight stop at $50, looking to achieve $70 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $70.00)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Recently reported earnings for GRBK, a builder of new homes in the US southern states, showed all time record high quarterly home closings and EPS -- both increasing 25% over the year.  It trades at 8x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 25% ROE.  The company is prudently using cash reserves to retire debt and buy back shares.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $43, looking to achieve $74 -- upside potential of 19%.  Yield 0%

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

GRBK is a mid cap home builder and land development company. It is growing nicely and priced well at 10X earnings. 
It has economic/rate sensitivity but has been very profitable for the past decade. The balance sheet is OK. 
Insiders own 7% and the stock has been doing very well. 
Positives: growth, management, consistency, valuation. 
Cons: recession risk, interest rate risk, cash flow variablility. 
It looks good to us and is growing faster than a group of six Bloomberg peers. 
We cannot provide personal weightings, but as a mid cap stock with economic sensitivity we would be cautious on a big position.
