D.R. Horton Inc. appears to be navigating a challenging housing market, characterized by high 30-year mortgage rates and economic uncertainties. Despite a tough year with a projected decline of -7%, many experts underline the company's strategic appeal, particularly with 69% of their homes priced below $400,000, making them attractive to first-time homebuyers. The stock’s recent price movements indicate potential recovery, with expectations for future profitability bolstered by positive projections on housing demand amid falling interest rates. While concerns regarding labor costs and the impact of immigration policy could affect the construction industry, optimistic forecasts suggest that D.R. Horton could see significant gains by 2025 if interest rates decline as predicted. Recent performance shows promise with increased gross margins and a notable buyback strategy, positioning the company for potential growth amidst market fluctuations.

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. 

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.

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.

BUY

It rallied today, perhaps in reaction to Harris promising $25,000 to anyone buying a house if she wins. Lennar also rallied.

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.

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

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

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.

DON'T BUY

He's long in the homebuilders which are declining now. September earnings were okay, but shares were weak. These stocks peaked last spring, and he can't see a return to that as long as interest rates remain high.

WEAK BUY

The homebuilders had seen fundamental strength peak in the spring selling season. Doesn't mean there will be a sharp fall for the homebuilders, but are moderating gains (at least in fundamentals, not share price). They still benefit from holding a tight inventory of homes in the US, which will benefit them long term. They peaked earlier, true. He execpts a modest share price recovery.

COMMENT
Downgraded today

He bought this for its strong fundamentals, but momentum is clearly waning. He will review his holding in April.

BUY
Trades at 9x earnings. Have been paying down debt. Housing stocks have bottomed, and housing looks good this year and in 2024. It's a blue chip in housing, despite its higher beta. Last year, you had to be defensive, but you need to be more offensive this year.
DON'T BUY
It reports Thursday. He's very worried about a slowdown in the homebuilding business. Listen closely to the quarterly call. Home deals are down because of soaring mortgage rates.
