Pinned straw:
@thunderhead I've been trying to get my head around some of the macroheadlines about the US housing market.
These 3 pictures might help explain what's driving $BKW?
What I've not included are Interest rates and net migration, which are two drivers that have influenced that last 5 years.
Overall, there was a strong boost in the year or two after the pandemic; however, changes in interest rates and migration have contributed to an unwinding of the "boom".
If $BKW invested to add capacity to supply the 2021/2022 "boom", it makes total sense that this capacity is very underulitised now.
