Alternative ways to invest in Hovnanian Enterprises
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Hovnanian Enterprises), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Hovnanian Enterprises is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Hovnanian Enterprises under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Hovnanian Enterprises P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Hovnanian Enterprises's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 6x. In other words, Hovnanian Enterprises's shares trade at around 6x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Hovnanian Enterprises's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.22. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Hovnanian Enterprises's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Hovnanian Enterprises's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $284.3 million (£226.5 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of Hovnanian Enterprises's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
