Meritage Homes: Undervalued As Temporary Uncertainty Weighs On Housing Market
Meritage Homes has grown earnings alongside other homebuilders based on surging housing prices amid a persisting housing shortage. The current industry outlook is weakened by higher mortgage rates and tariff uncertainty, but long-term housing market trends remain intact. As MTH's stock has declined due to temporary housing market concerns, the stock is now attractively valued. I estimate 54% upside to a fair value of $98.4.
