U.S. Homebuilders Fall as New Home Sales Unexpectedly Fall in June
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Lennar and Hovnanian Enterprises
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/27/12 -- Homebuilder stocks have been on an impressive rally as the U.S. housing market has been on a slow but steady recovery in 2012. The Standard and Poor's Supercomposite Homebuilding Index (S15HOME) is up over 40 percent year-to-date. Homebuilders took a hit Wednesday after government data showed new home sales unexpectedly declined in June. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Residential Construction Industry and provides equity research on Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN) and Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV).

After reaching a two-year high in May new home sales fell sharply in June. The Commerce Department on Wednesday reported that new home sales fell 8.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted rate of 350,000. While the steep drop was unexpected, sales in June are still 15 percent higher than a year ago. Other indicators throughout the year have signaled a U.S. housing market recovery and as a result builders have been more confident in breaking ground on new homes.
"While a housing recovery is under way, it is most certainly not 'all good,'" Dan Greenhaus, BTIG's chief global strategist, said in a note to clients. "Fits and starts are to be expected, and clearly this summer is one of the 'fits.'"
