Two conflicting factors appear to drive CAV prices. On the positive side, CAV is strong financially, has strong fundamentals in that it builds modular homes, an area which should experience substantial growth at the expense of stick built homebuilders.

On the negative side, stock prices of homebuilders are interest rate sensitive. Higher interest rates increase the ultimate cost to homebuyers thus driving unit volume down.

A look at CAV's PSR and sales performance between 1987-1991 shows a decrease of about 30% in sales. This was accompanied by a PSR drop to about .06. Current PSR of CAV is about .37. Based on this the price of CAV could drop to about $ 2 or 3 if the homebuilding industry goes on its butt.

Does anyone know anything about the specific causes of the 1987/91 debacle or have any thoughts about how the above factors will play out if interest rates rise.
