Oakwood Homes favored as strong long term buy
In Malcolm Berko’s Taking Stock, Oakwood Homes is praised as a strong long term buy with a dominant South market presence, 261 facilities, plans to open 40 to 45 new centers yearly, tenfold sales growth since 1986, 7 percent net margins rising to about 9.5 percent, and a solid balance sheet under capable management. Federal Mogul receives a cautious note due to slim profit margins and competitive pressure. The mobile housing industry overall shows excellent potential with 1996 shipments up 13 percent and favorable factors like easy credit and rising demand.
