What’s Up? Cavco Industries (CVCO) Looming Announcement, plus Manufactured Home Investing Updates

DowJones1.15.2020ManufacturedHomeStockUpdatesBroaderMarketSnapshotThe SEC has formally but politely declined additional comment.

Thus far, Cavco Industries contacts that have been asked about this new notice have been mute.

The subject? An 8K notice published about Joseph H. Stegmayer, Cavco Industries former chairman, president and CEO and also the prior chairman of the Manufactured Housing Institute. It is news no one else in mainstream or finance media has yet covered, much less among MHVille trade writers. So this will be another first about Cavco (CVCO) found here. That news will be our featured focus tonights.

 

Periodic readers of this business-nightly feature should note there are a few tweaks to some of the standard portions of our evening market/investing report. Read carefully as some changes of the ‘standard text’ that follows before our left-right headlines and also in other features near the end of tonight’s reports.

Every evening our headlines that follow provide snapshots from two major media outlets on each side of the left-right news spectrum that reflect topics that influence or move investor sentiment. In moments on this business evening report, you can get ‘insights-at-a-glance.’

This report also sets the broader context for manufactured housing markets, in keeping with our mantra, “News through the lens of manufactured homes and factory-built housing” ©.

We begin with headlines left-of-center CNN followed by right-of-center Fox Business. We share closing tickers and other related data courtesy of Yahoo Finance, and more. 5 to 10 minutes reading this MHProNews market report every business night could save you 30 minutes to an hour of similar reading or fact-gathering elsewhere.

Perhaps more important, you will get insights about the industry from experts that care, but also dare to challenge the routine narrative that arguably keeps manufactured housing underperforming during an affordable housing crisis.
