What am I missing?
Since March Fleetwood's share price has dipped significantly (which has been great for me to top up) but it also makes me wonder what I am missing? I'd really appreciate a sanity check, or throw some questions at me for what I might not be seeing, or challenge where I may have my blinkers on.
Is it simply a case of market sentiment with the April dividend being less than anticipated?
I know there's some negativity around the potential for a decline in modular construction demand; however, this also confuses me a little. With the housing market the way it is, I'm anticipating that demand will actually go up as people look for alternative solutions, including granny-flats and portable housing in more rural areas.
They still have large, stable contracts with both Government and private developers and mining operations.
