The strike, if prolonged, could lead to supply constraints which may cause prices to rise, economists warn. These are the sectors that could be the most impacted by the strike:
Food and Beverage: The dozen or so U.S. ports affected by the strike import nearly $100 million a month of beverages and vinegar, according to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/02/port-strike-shortages-food-cars-alcohol/">report</a> from the Washington Post. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation via the Washington Post, 80% of all imported beer, whiskey, scotch and more come through the ports will be impacted by the strike.
Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), the maker of Modelo, is one of the companies that imports the most beer to the U.S., although Constellation may be able to avoid disruptions caused by the port through ground transportation from Mexico. Heineken NV (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEINY#OTC">HEINY</a>) and other European beverage companies may feel more of the strike&#8217;s affects.

According to the Washington Post, the U.S. ports import more than half a billion dollars worth of cars and car parts every month. The auto industry already saw disruptions in its supply chain earlier this year when the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed in Baltimore, hindering shipments through one of the country's largest ports. Companies that rely on importing car parts, such as AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O'Reilly Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>), could also see operations disrupted by the strike. Construction: Machinery and construction equipment account for more than $670 million in monthly imports through the dozen or so impacted ports, according to the Washington Post. Homebuilders such as DR Horton Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>), Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) and others could see operations delayed if the strike is prolonged. Overall, the strike could lead to price increases and supply constraints across multiple sectors if it persists beyond a couple of weeks. In addition to the strike, flooding and storm damage from Hurricane Helene could also disrupt supply chain operations in North Carolina and other southeastern states.

Beer Shortage Ahead? 3 Products That Will Be Most Impacted By Port Strike

The economy typically has three leading industries that investors can watch closely when trying to figure out the potential future of the stock market. Of course, consumer discretionary is a big part of this mix, as the United States economy is increasingly made up of consumer trends and debt. Following these consumer trends is the mortgage market, which is an extension of the real estate sector.
A third industry just as connected to the rest is the transportation sector, particularly the trucking industry, as it is called upon to deliver the products ordered based on higher consumer activity and demand.
Today, investors have a good idea of what the consumer sector is doing after consumer sentiment readings came in at their weakest since 2021, so now it is time to gauge the housing market.
This is where homebuilding stocks like KB Home (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kbh#NYSE">KBH</a>) become as important as ever, especially as the company just announced its latest set of quarterly earnings figures.
Investors can probably guess that the figures weren&#39;t that great based on the fact that the stock traded lower by 5.3% the day after announcing its quarterly earnings, but the implications for the rest of the stock market are just as important.
<h2>Why the Housing Industry Could Be in Trouble: KB Homes Stock Numbers Follow the Trend</h2>
Investors can gauge the market&#39;s feelings about a particular industry by comparing its average forward P/E valuations against the broader S&amp;P 500 index. In this case, those at Goldman Sachs believe the S&amp;P 500 will trade at about 18.0x forward P/E ratio for the next 12 months, the benchmark for investors to work with now.
On the other hand, the homebuilding industry trades at an average valuation of 11.5x forward P/E ratio. This is a discount of up to 36% from the market expectation, and typically, markets are willing to discount industries when they believe they are fundamentally set up to underperform the rest.
The underperformance may result from the average home price being up to 35% above what it was before the COVID-19 pandemic, pricing out many would-be homebuyers. The situation worsens when investors account for the current mortgage interest rates hovering near 6.5%.
The problem is that, despite recent interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve (the Fed), most homes are still too expensive compared to the average salary today, so new demand won&#39;t come online for a while. Investors can see this trend reflected in the falling housing starts, home building permit numbers, and the mortgage market index hitting a 1996 low.
KB Home stock is not immune to this environment, so investors will notice a flat order backlog for the past 12 months in the company&#39;s earnings press release. In addition, the home-selling gross margin contracted down to 20.6% from 21.5% a year ago, signaling further weakness.
Speaking to demand and current sentiment for new homes, the overall cancellation rate came in at 15%, above the industry&#39;s 6% to 8% average, showing capitulation from the buyer side. The final blow came in the company&#39;s backlog, which totaled 5,724 this quarter compared to 7,008 one year ago.
This might have caused the stock&#39;s 5.3% down day despite reporting higher earnings per share (EPS) and revenue since these key performance indicators (KPIs) are ultimately more important for the future. However, KB Home is not alone in this trend; peers are suffering, too.
<h2>Wall Street Analysts Predict Downside for the Housing Industry</h2>
Here is what Wall Street analysts considered when deciding to keep their consensus price target for KB Home at $77.3 a share. This implies as much as a 6.6% downside from where the stock trades today despite the sell-off. Inside KB Home&#39;s financials, investors will notice that this shift in backlog inventory caused operating cash flows to crash.
Going from a net inflow of $608.7 million a year ago to $89.9 million this year means EPS is overstated today. Knowing that this is likely becoming an industry-wide issue, price targets on competitors like Toll Brothers Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tol#NYSE">TOL</a>) and D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dhi#NYSE">DHI</a>) have also started to come down.
For Toll Brothers, Wall Street analysts expect the stock to drop to $145 a share, or 3.5% below today&#39;s price. More than that, it looks like bears are starting to gear up to oppose this company and the negative trends affecting the industry today, as Toll Brothers stock&#39;s short interest increased by 7.9% in the past month alone.
Looking over at D.R. Horton, the story doesn&#39;t improve. Wall Street has landed on a consensus price target of $183.3 a share for this homebuilder, which implies a downside of 2% from today&#39;s price. Bearish traders also picked up the pace on this name by increasing the stock&#39;s short interest by 12.5% over the past month.
<h2>Shift to Defensive Stocks as Housing Sector Shows Weakness</h2>
Based on the evidence, it&#39;s clear the housing market faces significant headwinds, with rising interest rates and inflated home prices limiting demand. Homebuilding stocks like KB Home, Toll Brothers, and D.R. Horton are showing signs of struggle, as seen in their lower backlogs, declining margins, and increasing short interest.
For investors, this suggests it may be wise to avoid the housing sector for now and consider shifting toward more defensive, less cyclical industries that are better positioned to weather the current economic environment.

Single-Family Housing Starts Are Up As Mortgage Rates Decline, Fed Eyes Lower Rates

Homebuilder and building product stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40882613/builders-first-source-other-homebuilder-stocks-rise-with-catalysts-such-as-mortgage">could see an upward trend</a> if the Federal Reserve cuts the key interest rate on Wednesday, based on historical performance, according to a major U.S. bank.
The Fed is expected to lower rates by either 25 or 50 basis points, marking the first change since July 2023 when it raised the rate to a range of 5% to 5.25%.
&#8220;Builders and building product stocks have outperformed in anticipation of rate cuts,&#8221; BofA Securities said in a note on Tuesday.
&#8220;Lower rates would benefit home demand.&#8221;
Homebuilder and building product stocks have rallied since early July as 30-year mortgage rates have fallen from 7% to roughly 6.2%, boosting new home demand and spending on home improvements, BofA said.
&#8220;In our view, the stock performance has been stronger than the improvement in underlying fundamentals as investors look through near-term weakness to a 2025 recovery fueled by lower mortgage rates and pent-up demand,&#8221; the note stated.

&#8220;Housing sector outperformance ahead of rate cuts is consistent with prior cycles, but the magnitude and valuations are higher this time around. Stock performance following the first cut is more mixed although usually positive for homebuilders.&#8221;
BofA noted that homebuilders outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in the three months before three of the last five initial rate cuts, and building products outperformed in four of the last five.
In the last three months, homebuilder stocks have gone up 26% and building product shares have risen 13%, compared to the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 2% uptick over the same period, BofA said.
&#8220;Assuming the Fed starts to cut rates in September, homebuilder and building product stocks will be trading at a higher valuation than going into any of the last five periods when the Fed started to cut.&#8221;
BofA also pointed out that homebuilders and building products typically underperform the S&amp;P 500 ahead of a recession but outperform it during and after a recession.
Price Action: Homebuilder stocks traded higher on Tuesday.

Homebuilder Stocks Outperform Ahead Of Potential Rate Cuts — But What's Next?

Launched on 01/07/2014, the First Trust Rising Dividend Achievers ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdvy#NASDAQ">RDVY</a>) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by First Trust Advisors. It has amassed assets over $11.71 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
<h2>Why Large Cap Value</h2>
Companies that fall in the large cap category tend to have a market capitalization above $10 billion. They tend to be stable companies with predictable cash flows and are usually less volatile than mid and small cap companies.
Carrying lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, value stocks also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. Looking at their long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in almost all markets. They are however likely to underperform growth stocks in strong bull markets.
<h2>Costs</h2>
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.49%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.83%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector--about 42% of the portfolio. Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, D.r. Horton, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dhi#NYSE">DHI</a>) accounts for about 2.41% of total assets, followed by Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mli#NYSE">MLI</a>) and Aflac Incorporated (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/afl#NYSE">AFL</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 22.38% of total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
RDVY seeks to match the performance of the NASDAQ US Rising Dividend Achievers Index before fees and expenses. The NASDAQ US Rising Dividend Achievers Index is designed to provide access to a diversified portfolio of companies with a history of paying dividends.
The ETF has added roughly 12.45% so far this year and was up about 23.75% in the last one year (as of 09/17/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $43.44 and $58.75.
The ETF has a beta of 1.11 and standard deviation of 19.70% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 51 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
First Trust Rising Dividend Achievers ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, RDVY is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (ARCA:SCHD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) track a similar index. While Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has $60.60 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $126.51 billion. SCHD has an expense ratio of 0.06% and VTV charges 0.04%.
<h2>Bottom-Line</h2>
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.

D.R. Horton's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.90 million shares sold short, which is 1.9% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.46 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for D.R. Horton has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing D.R. Horton's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, D.R. Horton's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.04%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

With mortgage rates expected to decrease, experts advise homebuyers to act swiftly to secure the best deals before the opportunity closes.
Looking ahead, several dynamic trends are set to shape the housing market.
According to a <a href="https://www.noradarealestate.com/blog/housing-market-forecast-for-next-5-years/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">note</a> by Norada Real Estate Investments, the market will remain strong over the next five years, though it will experience some dramatic shifts. Home prices are projected to continue rising, but at a slower pace than in recent years, offering a more gradual increase. While the supply of homes is expected to grow, addressing the previous shortage should ease the inventory crunch that has driven prices up.

Despite the Federal Reserve&#8217;s past rate hikes raising borrowing costs and dampening buyer enthusiasm, a gradual rate decline could rekindle demand and revitalize the market.
However, competition will remain fierce due to robust job growth, population expansion, and limited land availability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2024 Forecast</h3>
The U.S. housing market is anticipated to slow, with home prices either stabilizing or seeing a slight decline. Zillow&#8217;s latest forecast for 2024 projects a 1.8% national increase in home values, indicating a period of market stability, Norada Real Estate Investments added.
Stock Opportunities
As home prices are expected to remain stable or increase modestly, homebuilders are likely to benefit from sustained demand and favorable conditions. This stability should support their revenue growth through ongoing construction and sales.
According to a June report by the<a href="https://www.nahb.org/blog/2024/06/pro-builder-housing-giants"> National Association of Home Builders</a>, the top three homebuilders by revenue, closings, and home types are:
<ul>
<li>D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>): DHI stock has surged over 58% in the past year. Wells Fargo recently raised its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DHI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast </a>to $220 from $210 while maintaining an Overweight rating. Investors can consider the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) for exposure.</li>
<li>Lennar Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>): LEN stock has risen more than 52% in the past year. Wells Fargo increased its price forecast to $195 from $185, also maintaining an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight </a>rating. The AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GK#NYSE">GK</a>) offers a way to invest in Lennar.</li>
<li>Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>): TOL stock has jumped over 75% in the past year. Wedbush raised its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TOL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price forecast</a> to $148 from $120, keeping a Neutral rating. The Invesco Dorsey Wright Consumer Cyclicals Momentum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEZ#NASDAQ">PEZ</a>) provides investment exposure.</li>
</ul>
Overall, the U.S. housing market is poised for stability this year, with modest price increases and benefits for homebuilders. Prices are projected to rise 3-5% annually through 2029, while mortgage rates are expected to stabilize above pre-pandemic levels, Norada reported. This evolving landscape, marked by a shift towards suburban and rural demand and technological advancements, will require buyers and investors to remain informed and adaptable, the report added.

Rate Cuts Coming: Is It The Perfect Time For Homebuyers To Strike Big Deals?

Prospective homebuyers are holding off on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39465243/u-s-home-sales-decline-for-third-month-as-record-prices-pose-persistent-affordability-challenges-dur"> buying new homes</a> as they bet on mortgage rates falling further, causing slow home sales, according to builders.
And why wouldn&#8217;t they wait?
In the week ending Aug. 23, the average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances of $766,550 slipped from <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mortgage-rates-hit-17-month-200029576.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall">6.5% to 6.44%</a>. This marks the lowest level since April 2023 and the fourth consecutive week of rate declines, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).

&#8220;As observed in recent weeks, despite lower rates, purchase applications have not moved much,&#8221; said Joel Kan, MBA's vice president and deputy chief economist. 
&#8220;Prospective homebuyers are staying patient now that rates are moving lower and for-sale inventory has started to increase.&#8221; 
Mortgage applications saw a modest increase of 0.5% from the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Weekly Applications Survey.
Refinancing activity showed a slight decline. The Refinance Index fell by 0.1% from the prior week, though it remains 85% higher than the same week last year, reflecting a robust annual surge in homeowners looking to take advantage of the lower rates.
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) also saw a decrease in interest rates. The average contract interest rate for 5/1 ARMs fell to 5.98% from 6.25%, indicating some relief for borrowers seeking more flexible loan terms.
Existing home sales increased for the first time in five months as falling mortgage rates have convinced prospective buyers to take out loans. However, sales are still slow as homeowners with mortgage rates around 3% wait for rates to fall even further, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
Total existing-home sales rose 1.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.95 million in July. This marks the first increase after four months of declines. On a year-over-year basis, sales were still 2.5% lower than a year ago.
&#8220;Despite these changes, sales remained sluggish and low inventory continued to push up median home prices,&#8221; the NAHB said on Monday.
Homeowners with lower mortgage rates have opted to stay put, avoiding trading existing mortgages for new ones with higher rates.
This &#8220;lock-in&#8221; trend is causing home prices to rise and holding back inventory, but this trend should reverse as mortgage rates keep declining, the NAHB said.
&#8220;Mortgage rates are expected to continue to decrease gradually, leading to increased demand (and unlocking more of the lock-in inventory) in the coming quarters,&#8221; it said.
Price Action: Mortgage companies moved modestly on Wall Street into Thursday&#8217;s mid-afternoon trading.
<ul>
<li>UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UWMC#NYSE">UWMC</a>) declined 0.93% to $9.07</li>

<li>Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) went up 0.45% to $40.13</li>
