Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

Why has it been moving?▼ -2% past week · ▼ -14% past year

Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.

The bull case

Long-term housing shortages drive consistent demand for new builds.

The bear case

Structural changes in the housing market or prolonged recession.

What does NVR, Inc. do?

NVR operates a bit differently than most builders because it focuses on buying land options rather than owning vast amounts of property outright, which helps keep its costs more flexible. Revenue flows from building and selling houses, plus the mortgage and title services offered to its customers. The housing market's reaction to interest rate changes is pivotal, as it directly affects how many people can afford a loan for a new home.
