NVR Inc (NVR · NYSE)

NVR enters its October 22 Q3 report (consensus EPS $102.77 on revenue of $2.57B) after missing estimates in each of the last two quarters, including an 11.45% shortfall in the June quarter, while trailing revenue fell 10.9% and earnings dropped 22.6% year over year. The stock sits at $5,919.82, down 26.9% from its 52-week high and 10.5% below its 200-day moving average, though an eight-analyst consensus target of $6,809.67 implies 15.03% upside. Balance-sheet quality remains a offset to the slowdown: debt/EBITDA of 0.7x, $1.20B in cash against $1.05B total debt, and ROE of 31.5%, despite negative operating cash flow of $151.5M in the most recent quarter. Valuation screens at 15.38x earnings and 10.75x EV/EBITDA on a $15.78B market cap.
