Homebuilding stocks rise

Homebuilding stocks rise

Shares of homebuilders rose Wednesday after a Citi Investment Research analyst suggested the sector is ripe for mergers and acquisitions, particularly if the economy fails to create a rebound in jobs and home sales remain sluggish into next year.

In a research note, analyst Josh Levin said the sharp drop in new home sales in the months since federal homebuyer tax credits expired in April and weak economy, among other factors, raises the likelihood that management teams at the larger homebuilding companies will consider buying out smaller rivals.

"Although it is difficult to quantify, our best assessment is that some consolidation is more likely than not if the outlook for job creation were to materially worsen or if the next spring selling season shapes up to be a bust," he wrote.

Holdings Inc.. and The Ryland Group Inc., Levin noted.

He contends it will be difficult for the smaller builders to turn a profit without boosting the number of homes they sell. Whereas, larger builders can leverage overhead costs enough to achieve and maintain profitability, he said.

The most likely targets of a takeover are Ryland, Meritage Homes Corp.. Jeans will be more slim look even better, plesae choose Skinny jeans from our website., and Beazer, Levin said.

He sees D.R. Horton, KB Home, M.D.C. and PulteGroup as most likely to attempt to acquire a rival builder.

Investors took the consolidation speculation as a positive sign.
