In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Greenlight Capital highlighted a few stocks and Green Brick Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:GRBK) is one of them. Green Brick Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:GRBK) operates as a homebuilding and land development company. In the last one year, Green Brick Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:GRBK) stock gained 92.7% and on January 11th it had a closing price of $22.02. Here is what Greenlight Capital said:
“Green Brick Partners (GRBK) was the primary driver of this quarter’s results. The shares advanced from $11.85 to $16.10. Housing appears to be a major beneficiary from the pandemic, as low interest rates combined with an expanded preference for single-family detached housing has spurred demand. GRBK is well-positioned in secularly growing markets including Dallas, Atlanta, Colorado Springs and Vero Beach. In the second quarter, the company earned $0.66 per share, shattering consensus estimates of $0.42. The company’s record backlog and strong order rate bode well for future earnings. Current consensus of $1.88 per share this year suggests EPS growth of over 60% year-over-year. We believe the shares remain deeply undervalued at 9x estimates, as business momentum continues to accelerate.”
