Berkshire adds to nearly doubled stake in slumping homebuilder
Why now
Thesis: Patient capital sees housing recovery ahead of the market
Catalyst to watch: Rate cuts or improving new-home sales data
Main risk: Housing slump persists longer than expected
Why it matters
Berkshire doubling a homebuilder stake signals a large, patient investor betting housing demand recovers despite current slump.
Details
Berkshire Hathaway has increased its bet on a long-term recovery for the struggling U.S. housing market by nearly doubling its stake in Lennar, the nation's second largest homebuilder, since the beginning of July.
