It's Still Time to Buy These Blazing Construction Stocks
Last week’s minor selloff started to unravel some nerves as the 10-year Treasury Yield ticked over 4% and to multi-year highs. However, the broader economy has shown signs of strengthening and many construction-related companies are beneficiaries.
The growth trajectories for several up-and-coming construction-related companies are appealing at the moment. This makes now an ideal time to buy their stocks as these companies appear to be at a turning point in their growth.

With its stock sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Dream Finders is a homebuilder with operations in Florida, Texas, the Carolinas, and Georgia among other states. Despite mortgage rates ticking over 7%, demand for new homes remains high due to disruptions from the pandemic.
After crushing Q2 top and bottom line expectations earlier in the month earnings estimates have soared for Dream Finders over the last 30 days. Second-quarter earnings of $0.65 per share blasted estimates of $0.32 a share by 103%. Plus, Q2 sales of $945.34 million beat expectations by 52%.
More importantly, fiscal 2023 earnings estimates have climbed 16% in the last month with FY24 EPS estimates soaring 21%. After reaching 52-week highs of $31 a share in August, the recent pullback in DFH stock may be a chance to get in before shares rip higher again.
