7 Housing Stocks to Buy as Mortgage Rates Dip - 2 of 7

 
 

#2 - M/I Homes (NYSE:MHO)

If the housing market recovers, homebuilder stocks will benefit. Falling mortgage rates is one thing, but having homes available to buy will be the key to sparking a rally with staying power. 

M/I Homes Inc. (NYSE: MHO) is one of the leading single-family home builders. It operates in nine states including several of the states that have seen a population surge from the great relocation (Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Tennessee).  

On July 30, 2024, M/I Homes delivered its second-quarter earnings report. The company beat revenue and earnings expectations and both numbers were higher YOY. A key reason for this is the company’s net profit margin of 12.7%, which is above the industry average of 10.9%.  

Although MHO stock is up 48% in the last year, it’s up just 4.9% in 2024. That’s lagging other homebuilder stocks, which creates an opportunity for investors looking for value in this sector.
