Jeld-Wen Holding IncCongress passed housing supply bill that cuts red tape and streamlines construction, boosting demand for JELD-WEN's windows and doors.
Shares of JELD-WEN and Trex surged after both chambers of Congress passed the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the most significant federal housing-supply legislation since 1990. The bill aims to boost supply by cutting red tape, streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing manufactured-housing rules, and barring institutional owners of 350-plus single-family homes from buying more existing homes. JELD-WEN jumped 10.3% and Trex gained 8.1% as the legislation is seen as a multi-year volume driver for builders, lowering construction costs and friction. KB Home also reported a revenue beat with second-quarter revenue of $1.11 billion, exceeding the $1.10 billion consensus, while the 10-year Treasury yield dropped below 4.5%, further supporting the sector.
