Today’s Big Movers
For all the scores and highlights on tracked manufactured home connected stocks today, see the Bloomberg graphic, posted below.
Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
“With President Trump in attendance, electronics manufacturer Foxconn broke ground yesterday on a huge new plant in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. Once fully operational, the 20 million square foot campus will employ 13,000 American workers,” said the White House press room to MHProNews.
“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday SoftBank Group Corp Chief Executive Masayoshi Son is increasing his investment in the United States to $72 billion, significantly more than the $50 billion he had previously pledged
“His $50 billion turned out to be $72 billion so far, he’s not finished yet,” President Trump said, without providing details.
In 2016, Son pledged to invest $50 billion dollars and create 50,000 jobs in the United States after meeting then President-Elect Trump.
“I couldn’t have decided such a thing before this new President,” Son said of that decision on Thursday.
SoftBank Group and its Vision Fund, the world’s largest private equity fund which in May last year raised over $93 billion, has made many of its investments in U.S. technology firms including ride-hailing firm Uber Technologies Inc and share-office space firm WeWork.
SoftBank is a key player in factory-built-housing producer Katerra. A special report on Katerra is found, linked below.
Billion Dollar Startup Modular Builder, Using Robotics, Could Soon Rival Clayton Homes’ Total Sales
The new Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) report indicates that home ownership is going up again, since the Trump Administration has taken their reigns. New investments in factory-built housing obviously are a direct benefit to the builders involved. Moreover, all investments that boost employment and wages fuels the demand for housing. The new JCHS is linked below.
