If you’re new, already hooked on our new spotlight feature – or are ready to get the MH professional fever – our headline report is found further below, after the newsmaker bullets and major indexes closing tickers.
The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets. Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets. So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©
Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.
Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.
This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

Today’s markets and stocks, at the closing bell…
Manufactured Housing Composite Value (MHCV)
Today’s Big Movers

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Most manufactured housing industry track stocks rose today, as a look at the Bloomberg closing ticker on our evening market report reflects.
The question has been asked for weeks, what was behind the market sell-off in the final quarter of 2018 – notably in December? Here are some views on that subject from CNBC.
- First, on the upside, the 2017 tax cut ‘was not a sugar high,’ says one of the CNBC panelists, who says he doesn’t see a reason to fear recession until at least 2021 or 2022.
- In recent days, Apple, Constellation Brands, Lennar and Samsung have lowered financial forecasts.
- For the fourth quarter, 72 S&P 500 companies have issued earnings warnings, twice as many as have issued positive guidance, according to FactSet.
- Analysts are now looking for single-digit earnings growth for the next three quarters of this year.
The Fed is expected to be less aggressive this year too, as the latest meeting minutes and other indicators suggest.
Volatility is still expected, is a common view, but that will be due in part to global and political concerns. The U.S. economy, as MHProNews has reported for months, is still looking sound.
