Stock market players were willing to build positions in home designer and builder Cavco Industries (NASDAQ: CVCO) as the trading week came to a close. This was inspired by the company's latest quarterly earnings report, which prominently featured convincing beats on both the top and bottom lines.
With that bracing tailwind at its back, Cavco's stock raced more than 5% higher in value on Friday. That was a significantly better showing than the 0.3% increase of the bellwether S&P 500 index.

Broad-based growth
Cavco earned just under $557 million in revenue in its second quarter of fiscal 2026. This was almost 10% higher than its take in the same period of fiscal 2025. Net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) saw a more robust rise, advancing by just under 20% year over year to $52.4 million, or $6.55 per share.

Both line items easily topped the average pundit projections. Analysts tracking Cavco stock believed the company would post less than $543 million in revenue, and only $6.09 for per-share GAAP net income.
In the press release detailing the results, Cavco quoted CEO Bill Boor as saying that "We saw continued strong performance from all phases of our business-production, retail and our financial services segment. Our teams executed with excellence in a fluid market with continuing macroeconomic risks."
Safe as houses?
Indeed, Cavco did post growth in every corner of its business. This is anchored by family built housing; a market still hungry for homes pushed up the company's take from such dwellings by 10% to $535 million, comprising far and away the bulk of its revenue.
