Guru Investment Theses on PulteGroup Inc

John Keeley Comments on PulteGroup Inc. - Dec 11, 2012

PulteGroup Inc. (PHM) was a significant contributor over the past year and was easily the top performing security in the portfolio. The homebuilder climbed over 292 percent over the trailing twelve months and contributed 119 basis points to the portfolio over that time period. The company has been effective at controlling costs and strategically improving many of its existing communities. Despite a number of positive economic reports related to housing, it appears that the rally in the industry is getting very little respect. We continue to see sentiment indexes improving rapidly, tight supply which is creating an attractive supply-demand imbalance, and improvements in pricing. Although we anticipate some volatility during the housing recovery, with interest rates at record lows and the Federal Reserve directly supporting rates with their recent announcement, we continue to expect progress in this area and have positioned the portfolio accordingly with Pulte and a number of other positions with exposure to the housing industry.

David Tepper - Billionaire David Tepper Increases Stake In One Home Builder 2700%
The housing renaissance did not materialize the way David Tepper may have imagined in 2011, when he added four of the panned home builder stocks in the first quarter: Kb Home (KBH), D.R. Horton Inc. (DHI), Pulte Group (PHM) and Beazer Homes USA Inc. (BZH). By year-end, he sold them all again, at or near a loss โ€“ with the exception of his Beazer holding, a fraction of which he retained.
