Truist Securities Maintains Buy on Louisiana-Pacific, Raises Price Target to $113

Hurricane Milton has left a significant mark on the Florida housing market, with cities such as Orlando, Tampa, Lakeland, Sarasota and Daytona Beach facing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane-milton">brunt of the storm. </a>
As recovery efforts begin, analysts expect the state&#8217;s homebuilding sector to absorb an estimated $1.7 billion to $2.5 billion hit, according to a report from Goldman Sachs analyst Susan Maklari.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Homebuilder Exposure To Milton And Potential Delays</h1>
Homebuilders with significant exposure in the affected regions face potential delays in construction and home closings.
Maklari notes that major homebuilders such as PulteGroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>), Lennar Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>), and D.R. Horton Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) have significant exposure in the impacted regions, with 17%, 14%, and 11% of their 2023 closings, respectively, concentrated in these areas.
In contrast, builders like KB Home (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) and Toll Brothers Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>) have minimal exposure, with less than 3% each. Historically, homebuilders in Florida have faced delays of around 4-6 weeks following severe weather events, primarily due to resource allocation to existing community recovery efforts and labor shortages. 
Given Hurricane Milton&#8217;s strength, widespread geographic reach, and timing — just two weeks after Hurricane Helene — Maklari believes these delays could be extended even further.
"We expect some closings to be delayed, but this appears to be more of a timing issue. Any potential shortfall in Q4 will likely be made up in early 2025," Maklari said. 
The good news for builders is that many homes are already in later construction stages as they aim to hit year-end targets, and most builders tend to avoid constructing in floodplains.
Goldman Sachs estimates the total industry impact to fall between $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion, based on historical delays and local median home prices.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Builder Exposure Breakdown: Orlando And Tampa</h1>
The Orlando and Tampa metropolitan areas are two of the hardest-hit regions. 
In Orlando, D.R. Horton leads the market with 2,351 closings in 2023, accounting for 16.7% market share, followed closely by Lennar Corp. with 2,242 closings and a 15.9% share.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Muted But Prolonged Impact On Building Products Demand</h1>
The broader building products sector is expected to experience a relatively muted response, with demand for materials such as roofing, flooring and insulation likely spread out over several months.
While Goldman Sachs does not anticipate a significant rise in overall product volumes, the short-term need for repairs could lead to temporary spikes in activity.
When it comes to damage to existing homes, the extent of destruction depends on the storm's specific characteristics, such as wind speed and flooding levels. 
Roofs, windows, and siding are typically most affected by wind damage, while floors, wallboard and insulation often suffer during flooding events. Key players in these product categories include:
<ul>
<li>Roofing: Owens Corning Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OC#NYSE">OC</a>), Carlisle Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSL#NYSE">CSL</a>)</li>
<li>Windows: JELD-WEN Holding Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JELD#NYSE">JELD</a>)</li>
<li>Siding: Louisiana-Pacific Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>)</li>
<li>Flooring: Mohawk Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>)</li>
<li>Insulation: Owens Corning Inc., TopBuild Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLD#NYSE">BLD</a>), Installed Building Products Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBP#NYSE">IBP</a>)</li>
</ul>
"Reconstruction demand typically spans several months," Maklari said, citing past hurricanes. 
Cleanup and insurance claims processing often delay actual repairs, with the full rebuilding efforts sometimes extending over 4 to 6 months. 
For example, Owens Corning reported that Hurricane Ian in 2022 resulted in 4 million squares of roofing damage, representing approximately 2.5% of annual roofing shipments.
Goldman Sachs does not foresee a sharp rise in overall building product volumes from Hurricane Milton. Instead, they expect a &#8220;pull-forward&#8221; in demand, meaning that short-term rebuilding activity might be strong, but it won't significantly raise long-term volumes. This could result in choppy revenue comparisons as the industry moves past the initial recovery phase.

WDAY

Workday, Louisiana-Pacific And TransDigm On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Workday, Transdigm, Louisiana-Pacific Corp

Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, has disclosed significant stock sales by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) in the second quarter, including a substantial reduction in its Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) holdings.
What Happened: Buffett&#8217;s company sold over 389 million Apple shares in the second quarter, according to the company&#8217;s latest U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Wednesday. Despite the sale, Berkshire Hathaway still holds 400 million Apple shares.
The news that Buffett had sold a significant portion of Apple shares was revealed in Berkshire&#8217;s earnings report earlier this month, but the precise number of shares sold only became clear on Wednesday.
Besides Apple, Berkshire Hathaway also trimmed its investments in Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>). Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), Floor &amp; Decor Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FND#NYSE">FND</a>), T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), and Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>). 
The company has boosted its holdings in Chubb Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) to 27,033,784 shares and Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) to 255,281,524 shares. Additionally, it has made new, smaller investments in aerospace parts manufacturer Heico Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEI#NYSE">HEI</a>) with 1,044,242 shares and cosmetics retailer Ulta Beauty Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) with 690,106 shares.
Tesla Inc.&#8216;s CEO Elon Musk commented on Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s substantial $277 billion cash reserves, predicting changes as T-bill returns decline following the revelation of the conglomerate&#8217;s stake sales. Musk said, &#8220;$277B cash reserves is wild. That will change as the T-bill return drops.&#8221;

Ark Invest Snaps Up $2.4M In Alphabet Shares</a>
Why It Matters: Buffett&#8217;s investment decisions have always been closely watched due to his remarkable track record. This recent move comes at a time when Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s stock is up over 20% year-to-date, despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40317667/berkshire-hathaway-stock-up-19-so-far-in-2024-how-it-stacks-up-against-warren-buffetts-averages">trailing the broader stock markets</a> for much of the year due to its large holding in Apple.
Earlier in August, Buffett&#8217;s decision to sell nearly half of Berkshire&#8217;s Apple stock was seen by Elon Musk as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152088/elon-musk-says-warren-buffett-is-clearly-expecting-a-correction-after-berkshire-sold-nearly-half-of">indication of an impending market correction</a>. 
Global market volatility has also tested Buffett&#8217;s investments. Despite a significant initial plunge, Berkshire&#8217;s $20 billion investment in Japanese trading giants recovered most of its losses. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40306868/global-market-turmoil-tests-warren-buffetts-japanese-investments-despite-initial-30-plunge-berkshire">global market turmoil</a> triggered by Japan&#8217;s rate hike had a limited impact on these investments.
Buffett&#8217;s recent stock sales have also contributed to Berkshire&#8217;s cash <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40146436/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-q2-operating-profit-climbs-over-15-cash-hoard-swells-to-277b-">reserves swelling to a record $277 billion</a>. This increase in cash reserves comes despite a 15.5% year-over-year fall in the company&#8217;s second-quarter net earnings, largely due to a decline in investment gains amid volatile market conditions.
Price Action: Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#8217;s Class A stock closed at $657,122.00 on Wednesday, marking a gain of 1.24%. Year-to-date, it has risen by 19.52%. Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#8217;s Class B stock finished at $438.47 on the same day, up by 1.40%. In after-hours trading, it increased 0.14%. Year-to-date, the stock has appreciated 20.97%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

전설적인 투자자 워런 버핏은 보유 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) 지분의 상당한 감소를 포함하여 2분기에 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)의 상당한 주식 매각을 공개했다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 버핏의 회사는 지난 수요일 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출한 최신 자료에 따르면 2분기에 3억 8,900만 주가 넘는 애플 주식을 매각했다고 한다. 이 매각에도 불구하고 버크셔 해서웨이는 여전히 애플 주식 4억 주를 보유하고 있다.
버핏이 애플 주식의 상당 부분을 매도했다는 소식은 이달 초 버크셔의 실적 보고서에서 공개됐지만, 매도된 주식의 정확한 수는 수요일에야 밝혀졌다.
버크셔 해서웨이는 애플 외에도 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), 캐피털 원 파이낸셜(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), 플로어 앤 데코 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FND#NYSE">FND</a>), T-모바일 US(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) 및 루이지애나-퍼시픽(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>)에 대한 투자도 줄였다.
이 회사는 처브(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>)의 지분을 27,033,784주로, 옥시덴탈 페트롤리움(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>)의 지분을 255,281,524주로 늘렸다. 또한 신규 투자로 항공우주 부품 제조업체 하이코(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEI#NYSE">HEI</a>)의 1,044,242주와 화장품 소매업체 울타 뷰티(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>)의 690,106주를 매수했다.
테슬라의 CEO인 일론 머스크는 버크셔 해서웨이의 2,770억 달러의 현금 보유액에 대해 언급하면서, 이 대기업의 지분 매각이 폭로된 후 T-bill(만기 1년 이하의 초단기 국채) 수익이 감소함에 따라 변화를 예측했다. 머스크는 "2,770억 달러의 현금 보유액은 어마어마하다. 국채 수익률이 떨어지면 상황이 바뀔 것이다."
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
$277B cash reserves is wild. 
That will change as the T-bill return drops.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1823865610570490270?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 14, 2024</a></blockquote>

</figure>
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 버핏의 투자 결정은 그의 놀라운 실적 덕분에 항상 면밀히 관찰되었다. 이러한 최근 움직임은 버크셔 해서웨이의 주가가 애플의 대규모 지분으로 인해 일년 내내 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40317667/berkshire-hathaway-stock-up-19-so-far-in-2024-how-it-stacks-up-against-warren-buffetts-averages" target="_blank" rel="noopener">더 넓은 주식 시장을 뒤쫓았음</a>에도 불구하고 현재까지 20% 이상 상승한 시점에 이루어졌다.
8월 초, 버크셔가 애플 주식의 거의 절반을 매각하기로 한 버핏의 결정은 일론 머스크에게는 임박한 시장 조정의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152088/elon-musk-says-warren-buffett-is-clearly-expecting-a-correction-after-berkshire-sold-nearly-half-of">징후</a>로 보였다.
글로벌 시장 변동성은 또한 버핏의 투자를 시험했다. 상당한 초기 급락에도 불구하고 버크셔는 일본의 종합 상사들에 200억 달러를 투자하여 손실의 대부분을 회복했다. 일본의 금리 인상으로 촉발된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40306868/global-market-turmoil-tests-warren-buffetts-japanese-investments-despite-initial-30-plunge-berkshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">글로벌 시장 혼란</a>은 이러한 투자에 제한적인 영향을 미쳤다.
버핏의 최근 주식 매각으로 인해 버크셔의 현금 보유고는 기록적인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40146436/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-q2-operating-profit-climbs-over-15-cash-hoard-swells-to-277b-">2,770억 달러로 급증</a>했다. 이러한 현금 보유고 증가는 이 회사의 2분기 순이익이 전년 동기 대비 15.5% 감소했음에도 불구하고 이루어졌다. 이는 주로 불안정한 시장 상황으로 인한 투자 이익 감소로 인한 것이다.
주가 움직임: 버크셔 해서웨이의 클래스 A 주식은 수요일 1.24%의 상승한 657,122.00달러로 마감되었다. 올해 들어 현재까지 19.52% 상승했다. 한편, 버크셔 해서웨이의 클래스 B 주식은 같은 날 1.40% 오른 438.47달러에 마감됐다. 시간외 거래에서는 0.14% 상승했다. <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면 올해 현재까지 주가는 20.97% 상승했다.
