On Wednesday September 2, at about 11:14 AM ET MHProNews emailed a related inquiry to Mark Yost, President and CEO of Skyline Champion.
On Thursday 1:38 PM ET, a follow up was sent to Janowicz, to gain her reaction to the ‘read hot’ report linked below.
Later a related message was sent to the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) CEO Lesli Gooch. More on that may be forthcoming in the days ahead.
Much of the markets, including manufactured housing slid today. But Skyline Champion slid more than some other conventional housing builders. See those details in the featured focus report further below.
MHProNews’ report on Skyline Champion retailers and rivals reacting to their corporate policies is the backdrop to the featured focus report shown below. As usual, that follows the quotable quotes, the left-right media headlines, and 2 of our 3 market snapshots at the closing bell today.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
Skyline Champion President and CEO Mark Yost has been riding high in various circles. The video below is an example. It was captured following his keynote speech to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Building Systems Council.
As nice sounding as some of Yost’s comments were in that video above regarding their caring for the ‘partners’ that are retail-builder-developers, a fair question would be this. How would those retailers impacted by the events described in our report earlier today, linked here, feel about his comments? Do they align well or not?
=== MHProNews Email to Skyline Champion this afternoon ===
Sarah,
We published our report earlier today on the inquiry to you and Mark Yost yesterday. That report is found at the link below.
Early data reflects that the report linked above is the runaway most-read article in today’s emailed news update to our subscribers. With that backdrop, our first question to you.
1) We want to give Skyline Champion an opportunity to react or respond to that report.
Also, we have a source alleging that Skyline contacted MHI about our inquiry to you yesterday.
From: MHI [mailto:info@mfghome.org]
Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2020 7:20 PM
Subject: MHI News & Updates: September 2, 2020 Edition
MHI’s update had an article about lumber pricing. Against that backdrop:
2) Was that after hours email from MHI designed to give Skyline Champion and/or other MHI members cover on the concerns raised by your independent retailers?
You know the drill. Please email your response below each inquiry for our mutual clarity. Thank you.
Tony
