Vltava Fund, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter said that they were mesmerized to the unique business model of NVR, Inc. (NYSE: NVR) and as a result, they acquired a position in the company. NVR, Inc. is a home construction company that currently has a $16.6 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, NVR delivered a 6.66% return and settled at $4,485.91 per share at the closing of January 22nd.
Here is what Vltava has to say about NVR, Inc. in its 2020 Q4 investor letter:
“At the beginning of December, we bought shares in the American company NVR. It is another of those companies that for years we have been itching to buy. Its business is in residential construction. At first glance that may not sound all that attractive, but NVR has a rather unique business model that enables it to do business with relatively small capital requirements, as a result of which it achieves levels of returns on equity and on invested capital that most (profitable) technology firms can only dream of. In the case of NVR, moreover, we think that we can take advantage of a trend taking shape and that can play out for many years to come of people moving out of the centres of large cities to the suburbs and countryside.”
