		<description><![CDATA[The weaknesses prevailing in the housing and construction industry in the U.S. have once again come to the fore as the National Association of Home Builders lowered its September outlook. Poor employment growth, increased availability of foreclosed homes, strict mortgage lending rules and lower confidence have restricted the demand for new homes to an all-time low. Moreover, potential customers who are ready to buy homes are opting for pre-owned homes, given their affordable pricing. As a result, the purchases of pre-owned homes have increased almost 2% year over year during August to 5.03 million (annual rate), which in turn affected new home sales. New home sales for August were at a six-month low of 294,000 units (annualized growth). This trend has affected earnings in the recent quarters and is also ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Universal Forest Products Inc. (UFPI) reported its financial results for the second quarter 2011 on July 13. Earnings per share, excluding 11 cents per share of severance and early retirement charges were 33 cents compared with 70 cents in the year-ago quarter. However, results were above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 15 cents per share. Revenue Universal Forest&#8217;s top line in the second quarter decreased 14.8% year over year to $544.1 million. However, compared with the previous quarter the company fared well; registering an increase of 40.5%. The year-over-year downfall can be primarily attributed to weak consumer spending on home-improvement items, like fencing and decking. In the quarter, unit sales fell 5% while selling prices moved south by 10%. Yearly comparison was also impacted by the expiration of the federal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Universal Forest Products Inc. (UFPI) reported its financial results for the first quarter 2011 on April 13. Net earnings were a loss of 19 cents per share compared with a 5 cent per share gain in the year-ago quarter. Results were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 1 cent per share gain in the quarter. Revenue Universal Forest’s top line in the first quarter plummeted 1.5% year over year to $387.2 million versus $393.0 million in the year-ago quarter and below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $418.0 million. The decline in sales can be attributed to lost production days owing to bad weather conditions. Site-built and manufactured housing sales also went down because of lower federal incentives and lower DIY/retail sales due to lower inventory stocking compared with prior-year period. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded our rating for Universal Forest Products Inc. (UFPI), a manufacturer and distributor of lumber, composite wood, plastic and other building products, from Neutral to Underperform. We downgrade based on a host of factors including weak second quarter results, huge dependence on general market conditions and growth in end markets, volatility in cost of lumber products, and enormous customer concentration. Second Quarter Results Universal Forest Products Inc. reported disappointing results for the second quarter of 2010 with its net income falling despite a healthy top line growth. Net income slipped 14.9% year over year to $13.7 million or 70 cents per share compared with $16.1 million or 83 cents per share in the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to higher costs. Earnings per share also fell short ]]></description>

It is good news, since residential investment is historically one of the most important locomotives pulling the U.S. economy out of recessions, and thus far this time around that locomotive has been derailed. It is bad news because we still have an excess inventory of houses, both new and used, particularly if you factor in the massive shadow inventory of used homes where the owners are deeply delinquent on their mortgages or where the banks have already started the foreclosure process.
