WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
97%Home Building
Home BuildingFinancial Service 3%
97% of all revenue comes from a single line: Home Building.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$3B
The net profit left over:
$63.9M
Out of every $100 in sales, $2 stays as net profit.
THE SLICE THAT TURNS INTO PROFIT: 2%

This is an established company with proven profits.

Cash on hand:
$272.8M
Total debt:
$930.2M
The debt outweighs the cash.

The gap is $657.4M. In times of high interest rates, a gap like that can squeeze a company.

Every quarter, analysts set a profit bar.

THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL PROFIT
44.5×

No analyst target is on record for this company.

INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
85
very strong

Profit power and business quality lead the class.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH
51
average

A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.

very strong

The price looks reasonable next to what the company earns.

GROWTH
38
weak

Clearly below the class average.

PRICE MOMENTUM
45
weak

Clearly below the class average.

WORTH WATCHING

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
Below the peak, but no collapse.

The stock trades 18% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/1
Pays a steady dividend

It pays out $1.91 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
Growth has stalled

Over the last 4 years, sales grew only 2% a year on average. At this size, speeding back up is not easy.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
A rich price tag

The company’s market value is 45 times its annual profit. Even a small disappointment could hit the price hard.

FINALE · THE GRADE
grade pending

We don’t have a report card for this stock yet — the data isn’t mature enough to grade. No grade is information too: it means the evidence is thin.

One-line summary: few numbers, an untested story. Keep watching.
