Hovnanian Enterprises: Shares Are Too Cheap To Pass Up
Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. is a small-cap homebuilder with significant operational improvements, low debt, and attractive valuation multiples, making it one of the cheapest companies in the market. Despite a 22.8% drop in the HOV stock price since January, the company's revenue and net income have grown, driven by increased home sales and improved financial performance.
