Key Factors to Note
NVR’s fourth-quarter Homebuilding revenues (accounting for 97.7% of total revenues) are expected to have increased from the year-ago level, backed by robust demand for new homes on lower mortgage rates. Also, the rising trend of working from home owing to the coronavirus outbreak is prompting many families to choose to live in lower-cost and low-density communities, thereby boosting demand.
The improved sales trends can be attributed to solid monthly housing sales data. Notably, pending home sales, new home sales and existing home sales were up 16.4%, 20.8% and 25.8 % on year-over-year basis in November but declined 2.6%, 11% and 2.5% from October, respectively. Moreover, solid fundamentals in the U.S. housing industry have been a key factor for NVR and other homebuilding stocks like D.R. Horton, Inc. DHI, KB Home KBH, Lennar Corporation LEN.
Also, for NVR, more demand for affordable housing from multiple demographic groups is likely to have given a boost to orders in the fourth quarter.
However, escalating land and labor costs have been a threat for NVR. This is likely to exert pressure on the company’s fourth-quarter margins as well.
