Meritage Homes (MTH) currently trades at 0.76 times its book value, reflecting market concerns about a sustained margin squeeze due to high mortgage rates. Despite margins returning to pre-pandemic levels, the company has stronger equity per share, lower leverage, and a solid buyback and dividend program. The fair value is estimated between $70 and $85 per share, suggesting potential gains of 18–44% plus a 3.2% dividend yield. Risks include maintaining 18% gross margins, further Federal Reserve rate hikes, and possible land impairments if the housing downturn worsens.
