Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding Century Communities, Inc. (NYSE:CCS) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Despite markets’ relatively sharp bounce following April’s downward volatility, we were able to initiate several new positions in the quarter at what we consider compelling valuations: Generac Holdings, Alaska Air Group, Knife River Corporation, Taseko Mines, Century Communities, Inc. (NYSE:CCS) and FTI Consulting.

Century Communities is a homebuilder — an industry that faces near-term challenges amid weaker consumer demand and higher interest rates. However, as shares trade at a sizeable discount to tangible book value, particularly given the company’s solid balance sheet and operating model, we capitalized on the opportunity to introduce a position in the quarter.”
