In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and LGI Homes Inc. (NASDAQ:LGIH) is one of them. LGI Homes Inc. (NASDAQ:LGIH) is a construction company. In the last three months, LGI Homes Inc. (NASDAQ:LGIH) stock gained 44.5% and on April 1st it had a closing price of $153. Here is what the fund said:

“LGI Homes, Inc. (LGIH) was also a detractor. The company designs and builds homes in about 20 states. LGI has experienced impressive and consistent yearly growth since its 2013 initial public offering and now holds approximately 44,000 lots. LGI had a strong balance sheet coming into the pandemic, which we believe will allow the company to continue to take advantage of the opportunities presented by low mortgage interest rates and the surge in housing demand. For the fourth quarter, however, we think the stock simply took a breather from previously strong performance.”
