What is S&P 500 Homebuilders pricing in?
I last week posed the question “Is real estate rolling over?” in a post including fairly bearish commentary from Robert Cambell’s Campbell Real Estate Timing Letter. I also included a chart of the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF – ticking all the boxes of a cyclical bull market – and pondered on whether the stock market was getting it wrong. Here is the chart again: Source: StockCharts.com David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist of Gluskin Shedff & Associates, provides more food for thought, stating that his regression analyses show the Homebuilders Index to be pricing in the following: • Housing starts: pricing in a level of 800-900k (versus 575k currently) • Existing home sales: pricing in a level of 5,500k (versus 5,050k) • NAHB Housing Market Index: pricing in a level of 35 versus 15 actual. Is this the most expensive part of the US stock market? | |||||||||||
