M/I Homes

M/I Homes Inc is an American construction company that focuses on residential construction. It consists of two distinct operations: homebuilding and financial services. The homebuilding operations are spread into the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern regions, and the financial services operations support homebuilding operations by providing mortgage loans and title services to the customers of homebuilding operations. Homebuilding operations comprise a predominant portion of the revenue. The company builds homes and communities that target entry-level, move-up, and luxury homebuyers.

President Donald Trump is back on his trade war horse, announcing plans to implement 50% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/07/46322995/trump-copper-tariff-mining-stocks">tariffs on imported copper</a> on August 1st. While the chance of this 50% number being the final rate is slim, given past tariff climbdowns, copper tariffs would present a new headwind to an industry that's already fighting discouraging trends: homebuilders.
That&#8217;s because copper is used in a wide array of construction necessities, such as:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>HVAC systems</li>
<li>Water pipes</li>
<li>Electrical wiring</li>
<li>Roofing foundations</li>
<li>Appliance components</li>
</ul>
With mortgage rates still at their highest in decades and other tariffs on lumber and steel already weighing on the construction industry, homebuilders may struggle to withstand another blow, let alone a knockout punch like 50% tariffs on copper. It&#8217;s worth noting that more than 60% of the copper used in the U.S. is imported.
Adding insult to injury is a slowdown in home price growth (just 1.3% in June, the lowest in two years), with outright declines in markets in the South and West. Homebuilders are under pressure, and these five stocks could be assets to avoid this summer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Pressure Is Building—Matt Maley's Trading Plan Is Ready</h2>
The perfect storm is forming: earnings momentum, rising tariff threats, and a Fed wildcard. Matt Maley is tracking fast-moving setups and quietly oversold names that could pop—and on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET, he's revealing it all. Don't wait for headlines to hit. Grab your spot <a href="https://events2.benzinga.com/matt-maley-webinar-sun-july20-2025-registration/?utm_campaign=webinar072025&amp;utm_adType=sponsorad&amp;utm_ad=RD071925">HERE</a> before this session fills up.
Here are five homebuilding stocks to consider selling due to the latest tariff threat.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">D.R. Horton</h2>
D.R. Horton (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) is no stranger to housing headwinds, as the company missed on EPS and revenue and revised down its full-year 2025 guidance projections during its April earnings report. The quarterly EPS figure of $2.58 represented a dip of more than 25% year-over-year (YoY). Despite a vast portfolio and a diverse market across 36 states, the largest U.S. homebuilder by volume received multiple downgrades and lowered price targets following its earnings release. The chart below suggests more potential trouble ahead.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXebKzejT9GcFcQwFAwLBiqgda5xQc4L4_bD_CKx3oEg_Hy8G0fHbcuw4TZza2q7uHGokSH9LsLrINjxA35wDyaPyoDRn0Vtb2iKuSqkw2l3DpuBwU12a9IGYw7xclNpRARSMbDIEw?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
The dreaded Death Cross formed on the daily chart just before the calendar flipped to 2025, and the stock is currently down more than 6% year-to-date (YTD). Investors hoping the stock had found a bottom were likely dismayed by the price rejection at the 200-day moving average. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has returned to its May levels. Unless shares can puncture the 200-day MA, the price momentum will likely continue to tilt to the downside.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">M/I Homes</h2>
M/I Homes (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHO#NYSE">MHO</a>) has evolved from a small regional firm into a $3 billion company, focusing on single-family homes in markets across 13 states. However, the Southern market in Florida and the Carolinas has been looking shakier lately, and the company's Q1 2025 results were an ugly miss on both EPS and revenue. The $976 million revenue figure was the lowest since Q3 2023 and represented a YoY decline of more than 7%. M/I also runs tighter margins than larger competitors, such as D.R. Horton and Lennar, giving it less room to absorb tariff costs.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeiIMyIBysX06pTT-qoXtzPrR0r0OxtKAXvLn3K5TEgfXEgcbXXqGlEmw1z5Rh9WZr7fPTBeBsI_Xuq8Op7gAfPBRJvS85gqcPi6jmjGT4Ytoex263PPXXqQVkj9B8j-fu7bEMw2g?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
Another dreaded bearish signal has appeared on the MHO chart as well, the Head and Shoulders pattern. The Head and Shoulders is a trend reversal signal characterized by two similar peaks sandwiched between a higher peak, with the ‘neckline' acting as a potential support level. This pattern on the MHO chart suggests that the price may drop back under the neckline around the $100 level, and possibly further if support can't hold.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PulteGroup</h2>
PulteGroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>) is a homebuilding behemoth with a $22 billion market cap, nearly $18 billion in annual sales and operations across the country. PHM posted a top and bottom line beat on its Q1 2025 earnings report, but that didn't stop analysts from lowering their price targets as new orders fell 7% YoY and the company reduced its home delivery guidance to under 60,000 and trimmed gross margin expectations for the second half of 2025.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXckEojxF2fvHpfn0sIta_NXqEIfHLiet3REYy3_egzGYb5rBeWQ9VGkvknAwlYFhhUwGDX4xtO335fi0JqVzbplis7bIHxEpViet-9tbivGcnpg7fxJMJSzsAp0c9STmV-ZF-kHeg?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
The PHM chart shows a double whammy: a Death Cross plus a Head and Shoulders pattern indicating a potential reversal in the long-term uptrend. The stock's upward advancement was recently rejected at the 200-day MA as the RSI briefly hit the Overbought threshold of 70. PHM has an earnings catalyst approaching on July 22 that investors should closely monitor.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lennar Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Second in size only to D.R. Horton, Lennar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) builds homes across the United States, with annual sales exceeding $35 billion. Lennar's diversified portfolio and focus on affordable, first-time single-family homes leave it somewhat more susceptible to tariffs and market-specific slowdowns in the West and South. Lennar reported Q2 earnings in June, missing EPS expectations while beating revenue projections. However, the revenue figure represented a more than 4% YoY drop, and gross margins continue to compress.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfvPAOACN6HZaldrevTIQkB1cNv2nUUsDtTMiuCkd2Dlq8Vul-OsL2Di3UpOOd6-7VmKVqH4dXvjpqQp-zZyLJFK1xqa8ECn6a987l9luu5_ogpDdckUJjRgsYnpXdFECM-q6suaw?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
LEN shares have been rangebound since the worst of Trump's tariffs were postponed, but there's evidence the next big move will be a downward one. The downtrend that began last September has lost steam but remains intact, and the RSI indicates that any potential reversal momentum is weakening. Long-term downtrends often require volume and momentum to break, and the LEN chart is currently showing the opposite.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferguson Enterprises</h2>
As the largest U.S. plumbing supplier and second-largest HVAC equipment supplier, Ferguson Enterprises (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FERG#NYSE">FERG</a>) is a &#8220;‘picks and shovels'&#8221; homebuilding play that could be hit especially hard by copper tariffs. Copper is incorporated into nearly every product Ferguson manufactures and distributes. While it has a steady business segment in commercial projects, its heavy reliance on residential homebuilding customers could put significant pressure on the company's gross margins.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeg48DYRJXcUoAw5Jh2qdzt1A7PZ-7m0CHZD-25sX8JPWbgb6uupqLzK9wN4pvu6LfG5ib54kGzRLwJ1tPEnGth-YUUYvXz80ZzgWqQRLZi-8hE7_CVMLWIZ-n0_z9yM9acrvvB?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
FERG may also have the most concerning chart of any company on our list today. After nearly doubling in 2023, the stock stalled repeatedly around the $215 level throughout 2024. This pattern has unfortunately continued into 2025, with the stock getting stuck at the same resistance level a fourth time following a post-tariff rally into July. The RSI also indicates fading momentum following an Overbought signal, a trend shift that may not be reflected in the stock's current price. A gap fill back to $180 in the next few weeks wouldn't be surprising considering recent history.

Earnings Scheduled For January 29, 2025

IESC

Shares of homebuilders, construction and household durables stocks are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Shares of homebuilders and housing-linked stocks are trading higher amid a drop in yields.

Every quarter, I track the 13F filings at the SEC. These are the reports filed by money managers of all stripes that show what the funds owned during the most recent quarter. When you compare the current list to the prior quarter, you come away with a clear picture of what institutions are buying for their customers and themselves.
When I started in the business, it took several days past the deadline to get a copy of the filings. I would go through the current and previous filings with a ruler and a yellow highlighter to track the changes. It was laborious but profitable. Today, the filings are made available instantly, and the portfolios and changes are posted to the internet instantly.
The Thundering Herd of Wall Street and the Instant Experts of the Internet will flock to read the filings of the best-known money managers and investors. Obviously, Warren Buffett gets a lot of attention. So do Carl Icahn and Cathie Wood. Bill Ackman also garners some attention. The number of people who dig deeper to find managers that are doing business away from the spotlights and consistently delivering high returns is small.
The famous investors are famous because they did well over time. However, they now manage billions of dollars, and their opportunity set is limited to large-cap stocks. You can do okay with their stocks, but if you want better than okay, you have to dig deeper.
If you joined the circus of Buffettology and just owned the top 20 holdings of Berkshire Hathaway for the last 10 years, you have earned about half the return of the S&amp;P 500. You did much worse as an Icahn clone investor. A very small portion of Klarman&#8217;s fund is invested in stocks these days as he finds bargains in other asset classes like debt and real estate. The stocks Baupost Fund has purchased have not been big winners for the most part.
If you could make the same derivatives bets Bill Ackman made when he made them, you would have done pretty well. If you just bought the stocks he did, you would have lagged the indexes. If you bought the top 20 stocks held by Donald Smith and Company, you would have crushed the market over the last decade. You would have crushed the market for over 20 years cloning this unknown investment firm.
You would have never owned the most exciting stocks. About half the time, you would have trailed the index in a given calendar year. In the years you outperformed, you outperformed by a massive margin.
This approach is incredibly boring.
Donald Smith and Company focuses on the bottom 10% of the stock market as measured by price-to-book value. They narrow the universe down to the cheapest ones and buy the ones they think have the highest potential for recovery. They have done that for over 40 years with exceptional results. Elections, crashes, melt-ups, and meltdowns have come and gone, and this firm just keeps its head down and buys cheap stocks.
As it turns out, boring is profitable.
Founder Donald Smith passed away in 2019, but his associates have kept the firm going with the same mission. The top 20 holdings contain no tech stocks. They do not even own a single tech stock or uranium miner. Donald Smith and Company owns some insurance companies, energy firms, homebuilders, REITs, and even steel companies.
Using their 13F filings to manage your portfolio or find ideas would have delivered market-beating returns that grew your wealth at a much faster pace than owning an index fund. $10,000 invested in the index with dividends reinvested would have piled up to a total of about $67,300. Shamelessly cloning the Donald Smith and Company portfolio would have given you over $151,000.
Today is the deadline for 13F filings covering holdings on September 30, 2024. The Instant Experts and talking heads will be out discussing what the famous investors have been doing. The key is to focus on what the investors who are still crushing the market are doing. We will talk more about this idea over the next week. For now, here are the top 20 stocks owned by Donald Smith and Company as of the end of the third quarter:

M/I Homes's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHO#NYSE">MHO</a>) short percent of float has risen 15.37% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.06 million shares sold short, which is 4.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.37 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730748612_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for M/I Homes has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing M/I Homes's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, M/I Homes's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.72%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
