NVR Q2 New Orders Jump 9% to 5,885 Units, Defying Housing Slump
NVR is trading near its 52-week low of $5,501.01 (13% above the low).
Summary
NVR's Q2 new orders rose 9% year-over-year to 5,885 units, a bright spot after Q1's steep profit decline. The order growth suggests demand is holding up despite the challenging housing market flagged in the May 10-Q. This follows the $750 million buyback authorization announced in May, signaling management's confidence. The market will look for confirmation of this trend in the full Q2 earnings release.
