Investment Thesis — NVR, Inc.
The market is overestimating the cyclical drag from higher rates on NVR's earnings, missing the company's unique land-light model and pricing power in constrained housing markets. Investors are anchored to headline housing starts, but NVR's asset-light approach allows it to sustain margins and cash flow even as volumes soften.

- Evidence of sustained housing demand despite macro headwinds
- Peer distress highlighting NVR's relative strength
Risk Factors
