They report Tuesday. Housing the linchpin of the economy and prices keep climbing. We need to hear if they will build more homes or keep the supply so tight that housing prices won't come down. The buildings are limiting supply to keep gross margins up and prices up, but it's terrible to fight inflation. Housing stocks have hung up because we have a housing shortage, but how long can this last when we see pushback on the prices of other items like dining out, apparel and airline tickets, all of which have risen dramatically in the last 5 years.

DON'T BUY
KB Home
Lennar and KB Homes They report Wednesday and he expects soft quarters. Mortgage rates are soaring so fast. However, these shares climbed today in a rough market, perhaps because investors feel that the Fed will hold off on rapid-fire rates after next Wednesday.

COMMENT
KB Home
It has the lowest PE in the S&P 500 at slightly more than 2x. This usual means the estimates are way too high. They report Wednesday. If Lennar stock doesn't go down after their Tuesday report, then buy KB.

COMMENT
KB Home
An analyst downgraded it today. The averaging selling prices for homes remain great, says the company, without signs of slowing. Q1 revenues were up 23% but slightly missed estimates. It's down nearly 10% in the past week. They fell short on the top and bottom lines. However, they have a very strong backlog to fulfill and management maintained their full-year forecast as the company expects higher prices. It now trades at a big discount to book value. Instead of buying back shares (at low share prices), the company would rather buy more homes. The homebuilders are cyclicals . Also, can they execute? Supply china shortages are a problem.

COMMENT
KB Home
Home demand will remain strong will at least the end of the year, though skyrocketing labour and materials costs like lumber and metals are a a problem. Last week, KBH reported a disappointing quarter, though management raised parts of guidance. The averaging selling prices for homes (and demand) remain great, says the company, without signs of slowing. It trades at only 3.3x this year's earnings, so it could be a bargain. Q1 revenues were up 23% but slightly missed estimates. They reported great numbers in California. Shares are down nearly 10% in the past week after they fell short on the top and bottom lines last week. However, they have a very strong backlog to fulfill, and management maintained their full-year margin forecast as the company expects higher home prices. The CEO says their biggest challenge is completing homes. Shares now trade at a big discount to book value. If they start buying back stocks, he's in, but if not, he's on the sidelines.

It reports Wednesday. He expects good numbers, and shares could rise, setting aside fears of rising rates impacting the homebuilders. However, he thinks Toll Brothers and Lennar are better in homebuilders.

TOP PICK
KB Home
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The US based home builder is again reiterated as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings showed a 35% increase in the number of homes delivered with average sales prices up 11% -- helping to propel EPS above analyst expectations. Trading at 8x earnings, compared to peers at 18x is trading at 1.5x book value. It pays a small dividend (that has tripled over the past 3 years) that is backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $32) to $38, looking to achieve $53 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 1.38% (Analysts’ price target is $53.00)

BUY
KB Home
Trades at less than 7x earnings. Cheap. This and its peers are pricing in a much higher mortgage rates and no customers in the future. So, they don't reflect the current rampant demand for new homes. If the Fed's Jay Powell keeps interest rates low, homebuilding stocks will roar. The U.S. is currently building 1.6 million homes, but demand is for 2 million.

COMMENT
KB Home
KB needs to confirm what Lennar said about the hot state of the housing market. Sure, this sector is cyclical, but won't be harmed by a few rate early hikes a year or two later. Otherwise, buy Lennar who just reported a fine quarter.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
KB Home
Are a U.S. homebuilder in 40-50 markets with a long track record. He really likes their 1.4x price to book value vs. peers around 2.1x. Likes their built-order model which offers better pricing power and wider margins. KBH good value. No, he doesn't see a Canadian housing crash. Rather, there's a supply shortage, particularly in cities like Toronto and Calgary, restricting more single-family homes. Eventually, the government will welcome more immigrants which will exacerbate supply further. That said, borrowing costs remain historically low.

TOP PICK
KB Home
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly KBH is a US homebuilder. Recently reported revenues were disappointing -- down over 23% -- but sales prices were 5% higher backed by the expectation of continued low interest rates. Overall, EPS of $1.12 came in $0.18 higher than analyst expectations. The company reported orders volumes increased 50% putting order backlogs at 15 year highs. It trades at 10x earnings compared to sector averages over 34x -- making this good value here. It pays a small dividend, backed by a 13% payout ratio. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $27, looking to achieve $44 -- over 22% upside. Yield 1.71% (Analysts’ price target is $43.13)

Homebuilding stocks are propped up by low interest rates and people moving out of cities to suburbs or the country because of Covid. BK reports Tuesday.

It's a turnaround from 2008. Since then mortgage rates, high employment and strong supply/demand make him bullish in the housing space.
