Argosy Investors Mike Loeb | “In terms of partial sales, I trimmed Wayfair(W), Ferguson (FERG), and Dream Finders Homes (DFH) due to their exposure to new home construction. I still believe there is value in the new home building sector, but trimmed some positions where I think exposure to new home construction is not being fully appreciated. Ferguson is a great business but does have significant exposure to new home construction, and a premium valuation. The combination of these factors led us to reallocate capital elsewhere. Similarly, I have owned Wayfair less than one year and the stock (not to be confused with the business) was up 140% at the time of the sales. I did not buy the stock expecting such a rapid rise in price, so recognizing the stock has gotten ahead of where I might value the business, I trimmed our position in the mid-$70's per share. Finally, Dream Finders Homes is one of two homebuilding stocks we own (the other being Hovnanian (HOV). Between DFH and HOV, I believe HOV is cheaper and has more upside as it deleverages its balance sheet at a challenging time for homebuilders. Overall, I felt our exposure to homebuilding should be lower, so I sold a bit of DFH, but still believe valuations and end market conditions are neutral for now. BSD Analysis: The manager is tactically reducing cyclical exposure amid uncertain housing demand elasticity to rates—sensible given elevated volatility in orders and margins. DFH's land-light model supports ROE, but relative value versus HOV plus decelerating momentum warrants a trim. Watch incentives, ASPs, and backlog turns; deleveraging paths drive relative upside. Stance: cautious. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}” | BULL | Q3 2025 Aug 23, 2025 | View Pitch |
Bretton Fund Stephen Dodson and Raphael de Balmann | “Dream Finders Homes experienced stock weakness due to exposure to volatile Southeast housing markets and declining return on equity. However, its option-based asset-light model supported 14% estimated earnings growth.” | BULL | Q4 2024 Dec 31, 2024 | View Pitch |
