StockCall Scrutinizes DHI, HOV, LEN, and BZH
May 03, 2013 (ACCESSWIRE-TNW via COMTEX) -- New York City, New York -- (May 03,
2013)
The U.S. housing market is continuing to see a robust recovery. Data released
earlier this week showed that home prices in 20 U.S. cities rose 9.3% in the
month of February. A separate report released this week showed that pending home
sales rose more than forecast in March. With the main driving factors for the
improvement in housing market still in place, the recovery is expected to
continue at a robust pace. This augurs well for homebuilders, which were among
the best performing stocks in 2012. Homebuilders ended mostly higher in
Thursday's trading session, tracking gains in the broad market, which rallied on
the back of better-than-expected initial jobless claims data. Among the major
movers were D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE: DHI), Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:
HOV), Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN), and Beazer Homes USA Inc. (NYSE: BZH).
