One company residing in the sector that sports the highly-coveted Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) is Skyline Corp. (SKY - Free Report) . Skyline is one of the largest homebuilders in North America that designs, produces, and distributes manufactured housing and recreational vehicles.
Skyline operates 42 manufacturing facilities, giving the company the flexibility needed to construct various manufactured and modular homes, ADUs, park-model RVs, and modular buildings.
In addition to Skyline’s core home building business, the company operates a factory-direct retail business, Titan Factory Direct, and Star Fleet Trucking, a transportation business.
Share Performance
The year-to-date performance of Skyline shares is undoubtedly disappointing, losing more than a fourth of their value and extensively underperforming the S&P 500.

However, take a look at the chart below. Over the last month, Skyline shares have soared more than 17%, absolutely crushing the S&P 500’s performance.

The relatively strong price action of Skyline shares as of late is undoubtedly a positive, signaling that bulls are finally starting to reappear and push bears back into hibernation.
Valuation
The company sports enticing valuation metrics, further displayed by its Style Score of a B for Value. Skyline’s 11.6X forward earnings multiple is nowhere near its median of 25.1X since its IPO in 2018 and is a fraction of 43.9X highs in 2020.
In addition, shares trade at a substantial 35% discount relative to the S&P 500.

Top-line growth is just as solid – Skyline is forecasted to generate $2.5 billion in revenue for the current fiscal year, penciling in a rock-solid 12.5% increase in annual revenue year-over-year.
Quarterly Performance
SKY has repeatedly reported bottom-line results above expectations, exceeding the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate in nine straight quarters, all by at least double-digit percentages. Just in its latest quarter, the company recorded a stellar 52% bottom-line beat.
Quarterly revenue results have consistently been reported above expectations as well; over the company’s previous ten quarters, SKY has penciled in eight top-line beats.
