Strong housing Trends... See the article on BLDR and others here... http://emerginggrowth.com/emerging_growth_stock_picks/builders-firstsource-nasdaq-bldr-more-strong-housing-trends/01/30/2013
In the 1990's, homebuilders began to grow by acquisition, creating large national competitors. It was inevitable that manufacturers and homebuilders also consolidated and experienced the same trend. Builders FirstSource (NASDAQ: BLDR) was born from this industry evolution. Its driving force was the desire to provide professional class building services to the country’s homebuilders and remodelers.
It made its first acquisition in March 1998. Since then, Builders First Source has acquired and integrated twenty-six companies. Completing its initial public offering of its common stock in June 2005, JLL Partners continued to own a majority of the company.
The company offers a broad range of products to help customers with their building effort. It creates wall panels, FSC lumber, engineered lumber, and Energy Star qualified windows and doors. It also manufactures prefabricated structural components such as roof trusses, floor trusses, as well as interior and exterior doors and windows. The company has developed the expertise to tailor its manufactured products to the needs of its market.
In its 2012 third quarter report, sales were $291.8 million, an increase of 34.3 percent when compared to the third quarter of 2011. For the second consecutive quarter, it reported positive Adjusted EBITDA, finishing with $3.0 million for the quarter as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. On a year-to-date basis, its Adjusted EBITDA improved from a loss of $11.7 million in 2011 to positive $3.0 million in 2012. Gross margin percentage was 19.8 percent, down from 20.5 percent, a 0.7 percentage point decrease. Specifically, its gross margin decreased 1.5 percentage points largely due to commodity lumber inflation during the quarter relative to fixed customer pricing commitments and was offset by a 0.8 percentage point gross margin improvement due to increased sales volume.
“We are seeing stronger sales trends as the housing market continues to recover, and our recent market share gains have also certainly contributed to our improving sales. Our sales growth and increased operating efficiencies drove the improvement in our financial results for the quarter,” said Builders FirstSource Chief Executive Officer Floyd Sherman.
Its year-over-year sales growth exceeded 30% in each of the past four quarters, and the company currently sees no signs of its sales pace slowing. Consequently, it was prompted to proactively seek additional liquidity to support its higher working capital requirements. It sought for $93 million of incremental liquidity to be provided to enable it continue growing market share and take further advantage of improving demand for housing.
With a market cap of $553 million, Builders FirstSource trades around $6.40 per share. In other words, with plenty of room for growth, increasing revenues, and a low share price compared to its competitors, Builders FirstSource is a great stock pick for investors expecting the economy and the housing industry to continue their upward trend.

May 2011 U. S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook
Better, But Still Not Good Enough
MCLEAN, Va., May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Freddie Mac (FMCC) released
today its U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook for May showing a pick-up in
economic growth in the second half of 2011 but with unemployment lingering above
8 percent through year-end. A large number of workers unemployed for a long
period remains the predominant force behind seriously delinquent rates on
mortgages.
Outlook Highlights
Over 250,000 new jobs needed monthly, on a sustained basis, to reabsorb all the
jobs lost since the recession.
Unemployment rate moves up to 9 percent; average unemployment duration was 38.3
weeks in April, down slightly from the record of 39 weeks in March.
The rate of seriously delinquent mortgages (8.6 percent average) will likely
trend lower during 2011, but continue to remain at extraordinarily high levels
for an extended period.
During the first quarter of 2011, home prices decreased by 2.8 percent
nationwide.
Positive signs: homebuyer affordability remains extraordinarily high, mortgage
rates low, house prices are well off their cyclic peak and contract signings for
existing home sales are up.
Projecting a 5 percent increase in 2011 home sales over 2010, on a calendar year
basis.

Outlook. Freddie Mac compiles data on major economic and housing and mortgage
market indicators and offers forecasts based on those indicators.
Quotes
Attributed to Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac, vice president and chief economist.
"While the labor market is moving in the right direction, it still has a long way
to go before the unemployment rate moves sharply lower. And ditto for seriously
delinquent rates on mortgages."

Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability
and affordability to the nation's residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac
supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders.
Over the years, Freddie Mac has made home possible for one in six homebuyers and
more than five million renters.

11:45:00 Fitch: U.S. Housing Recovery May Start To Pick Up by 3Q'11
Fitch: U.S. Housing Recovery May Start To Pick Up by 3Q'11
NEW YORK, Apr 15, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: U.S.
Homebuilding/Construction: The Chalk Line -- Quarterly Update: Spring 2011
http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report_frame.cfm?rpt_id=612825
(http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report%5fframe.cfm?rpt%5fid=612825)
Recent U.S. housing statistics have been weak and disappointing thus far as
expected, but the sector may be in for a spot of good news in the coming months,
according to Fitch Ratings in the latest edition of the 'Chalk Line'.
Most public builders will be unprofitable in the first quarter (excluding
non-cash real estate charges) with revenues trailing a year ago. That being said,
there has been a notable uptick in traffic from much of the first quarter. New
home orders have seen some slight seasonal pickup across most regional markets.
What may also work in the sector's favor is the easing of builder order
comparisons, which are challenging during the first four to five months of the
calendar year before beginning to subside. 'If the economy continues its advance
and a moderate number of jobs are added, housing metrics should, for the most
part, rise at a single-digit pace this year,' said Fitch Managing Director and
lead homebuilding analyst Bob Curran.
Nonetheless, the future state of U.S. housing remains highly dependent on the
health of the broader economy. So conversely, 'if the broader economy begins to
retreat from what gains it has made thus far, U.S. housing is in essence right
back where it started about a year ago,' said Curran.
Fitch will provide a brief recap of fourth quarter-2010 (4Q'10) as well as
discuss the outlook for the balance of 2011 during a teleconference to be held on
Monday, April 18, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. ET (separate press release to follow).
