In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and NVR Inc (NYSE:NVR) is one of them. NVR Inc (NYSE:NVR) is a home construction company. In the last three months, NVR Inc (NYSE:NVR) stock gained 11.8% and on March 3rd it had a closing price of $4,483.85. Here is what the fund said:
“Homebuilder NVR’s stock dropped much more than the rest of the market as conventional wisdom held that an economic collapse wouldn’t exactly set the housing market on fire. But that’s exactly what happened. As the economy held up better than expected with government help, families flocked to the suburbs looking for new homes with more space and took advantage of working from home. Single-family home construction is booming, inventories are at an all-time low, and homebuilders can’t build houses fast enough. As we’ve discussed a number of times, there is a structural shortage of homes in the US, and we expect there to be many years of growth ahead for NVR, even post-Covid. Its stock returned 7.1%, and earnings per share grew 4%.”
