Factors Driving Growth
Disciplined Business Model: NVR’s primary business is selling and building quality homes by typically acquiring finished building lots without the risk of owning and developing land in a cyclical industry.
The company acquires finished lots at market price from various third-party land developers under the Lot Purchase Agreements. This makes sure that the legal obligation and economic loss are limited to the amount of deposit, in case of failure. The lot acquisition strategy helps the company avoid financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and development. Lots controlled by the company at the end of first-quarter 2021 increased 4.9% to 108,700 from 103,600 at the end of first-quarter 2020.
Despite disruptions related to the coronavirus pandemic, NVR’s robust business fundamentals continue to drive earnings.
Robust Orders and Backlog Level: NVR’s business has been witnessing strong orders owing to high demand attributable to historically low mortgage interest rates and lower resale inventory levels. Additionally, more demand for affordable housing from multiple demographic groups has been driving growth in orders.
For first-quarter 2021, new orders increased 26% from the prior year to 6,314 units. During first-quarter 2021, average sales price for these orders inched up 10% from the prior-year quarter to $410,500. Quarter-end backlog — on a unit and dollar basis — was up 42% and 51% from the year-ago quarter to 12,791 units and $5.20 billion, respectively.
Since the recovery of the housing market scenario that began during May 2020, strong sales across all buyer groups has been observed, which continued through first-quarter 2021.
Improved Housing Market: Declining mortgage rates have been driving the U.S. residential market in recent times. Overall, the U.S. housing market seems to be back on track, defying headwinds like low inventory levels, tight lending conditions, and broad-based economic as well as public health risks associated with the pandemic. Revival of housing demand has been a boon for NVR and Zacks Rank #1 companies like Meritage Homes Corporation (MTH - Free Report) , PulteGroup, Inc. (PHM - Free Report) and Toll Brothers, Inc. (TOL - Free Report) , along with others in the same industry.
Furthermore, demand for new single-family homes has seen a V-shaped recovery throughout the country, and NVR is not an exception. Moreover, the rising work-from-home trend, owing to the coronavirus outbreak, is prompting many families to choose to live in lower-cost and low-density communities, thereby boosting demand.
Bitcoin, Like the Internet Itself, Could Change Everything
Blockchain and cryptocurrency has sparked one of the most exciting discussion topics of a generation. Some call it the “Internet of Money” and predict it could change the way money works forever. If true, it could do to banks what Netflix did to Blockbuster and Amazon did to Sears. Experts agree we’re still in the early stages of this technology, and as it grows, it will create several investing opportunities.
Zacks’ has just revealed 3 companies that can help investors capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.
