NYSE:PHM
Largest homebuilder in the US. #1 performing stock in the S&P 500. Hitting new highs. Kind of reaches all levels including entry market, midmarket and the active adult market. Well-positioned to benefit from US housing recovery. Housing starts are the highest since 2008. Demographics are also going to help homebuilders and interest rates will remain low.
Bought this because of the positive housing market in the US but it has been going down and doesn’t even pay dividends. Do you have any alternatives? He would recommend continuing to Hold but if you wanted diversity you could look at Toll Brothers (TOL-N) or Lennar’s (LEN-N). Particularly Toll Brothers, which is cheaper than the others. The homebuilders’ space is a fabulous place to be but is plateauing a little bit. The data supports higher valuations because prices are going up. One of fastest areas of growth is the super credit area.
