NVR Inc NVR
NVR Inc scores average on business quality (5.4 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What NVR Inc does
NVR builds homes and sells mortgage financing. It avoids owning large swaths of land, instead securing lots via purchase agreements.
- What it does best
NVR excels at capital efficiency, generating a 31% return on equity. This asset-light lot acquisition strategy is difficult for traditional land-heavy homebuilders to copy quickly.
- The main risk
Morgan Stanley initiated coverage with an underweight rating and a price target below current market value, threatening valuation multiples.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin hits 15.7% with a free cash flow margin supported by low capital expenditures of just $20M: scaling remains efficient.
Its asset-light land option model forms a localized supply moat, reflected in an operating margin sitting in the top two-thirds of its sector.
Revenue growth sits in the bottom decile of its sector at negative 2.3%, showing top-line contraction compared to prior historical periods.
Interest coverage is 52.9x, meaning debt costs are negligible, and the net cash position sits at $969M: the balance sheet is exceptionally fortified.
Insiders
Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
