Homebuilder Stocks Finish Up a Record Breaking Year with Strong Projections For 2005.
Article Excerpt
By Brian Noer
January, 2005
A new report by Banc of America Securities (Homebuilding Update Raising Estimates and Target Prices on Further Margin Expansion) has projected 16% growth for the homebuilder sector in 2005, despite previous industry anticipations of a market slowdown.
While the Banc of America report (By Daniel Oppenheim) expects to see 2005 new home sales dropping by 8% nationally due to rising interest rates, the major companies should continue to capture market share from smaller, private homebuilders. This is particularly good news for manufacturers of building materials, like International Barrier (IBTGF: OTCBB) whose Blazeguard® fire resistant paneling is currently being used by four of the nation’s major homebuilders.
"We had a tremendous year in Fiscal 2004, which ended October 31st," said Fred Cooper, Senior Vice President of Finance with Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL: NYSE). Fiscal 2004 was the company’s 12th consecutive year of record earnings and their 13th of record revenues.
“It has been an amazing 4 to 5 years of housing,” Mike Huddy, President and CEO of International Barrier (IBTGF: OTCBB) concurred. “Not only are housing starts up but there is an increase in the number of starts for multi family housing. Clustered housing developments are a bigger part of what is going on in the United States than what it used to be, for people who are entering retirement age or for first time home buyers. Of course we plan to capitalize on that.”

Commerce Department report states that construction spending was at an all time high in September, and that consumer spending is still strong.
POINT ROBERTS, WA. – November 3, 2005 - www.HomebuilderStocks.com, (HBS) a global investment news and research portal for the homebuilder sector, reports that the month of September saw the homebuilding sector hit another milestone. According to a Commerce Department report, construction spending in September reached an all time high of $1.12 trillion as homebuilders took advantage of low interest rates. While September’s interest rates were still low, analysts predict that the Federal Reserve will be hiking rates up to combat inflation concerns as energy prices rise. Even though rates look set to rise, the homebuilding sector is well positioned as many parts of the country need to be rebuilt following recent hurricane activity.
September’s record breaking construction spending followed gains of .6% in both July and August. In recent weeks homebuilder stocks took a hit due to an uncertain outlook on consumer spending, but the Commerce Department report also stated that consumer spending was still strong, which sent sector stocks on a rally. Also on Monday, Centex Corp. announced a share repurchase plan to buy back up to 5 million shares of its common stock. At market close Centex shares traded at $64.34, down 1% from Friday. The nation’s biggest homebuilder D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) announced earlier in October that orders for new homes rose nearly 26% in the last quarter.
