What this transaction means for investors

Capital rotation like this is rarely about panic. After a strong run in manufactured housing over the past few years, trimming Cavco reallocates capital without abandoning the theme altogether. The stock has lagged the broader market, but its fundamentals remain solid.

In its fiscal third quarter, Cavco generated $581 million in revenue, up 11.3% year over year, helped by higher home sales volume and pricing. Gross profit rose to $135.9 million, though margins compressed, and diluted EPS declined 19% to $5.58. The company closed its American Homestar acquisition during the quarter, adding $42 million in revenue but also incremental SG&A and deal costs. Meanwhile, the backlog stands at $160 million, representing roughly four to six weeks of production.

Within a portfolio led by higher beta names like Globalstar and Ligand, Cavco now represents just 1.87% of assets. That suggests this was a sizing decision more than a conviction call.
