The UK Needs MORE Homes - So Construction Stocks Breakout ?We all know the UK needs more houses, and that the ones already built are waaay unaffordable.
The scramble to move house in 2021 corresponded with a big rally for building and construction stocks in 2021, admittedly alongside a lot of other parts of the UK stock market.
That rally retraced by exactly 61.8% (Fibonacci) in 2022 and STOPPED FALLING.
Since then its been meandering sideways about 100p from 680 to 780.
This hasn't bee all that interesting - it's a consolidation period.
BUT.. potentially, big players are quietly stepping in - it's what we call accumulation.
We think that if UB320 The FTSE 350 Construction and Materials sector closes over 785, then we want to own the top names in that index for a new period of more obvious strength.
This sector holds these 7 stocks, ordered by 1 year performance.
Kier Group (+67%)
CRH (+60%)
Genuit Group (+28%)
Keller (+4.5%)
Ibstock PLC (-1.7%)
Balfour Beatty (-9.43%)
Marshalls (-12.69%)
We like to buy strength. What do you think?

70p / 80p mid-long term - £142m cash / £142m mcapA risky play of course but after losing over 80% of it's value due to JPMorgan selling, Covid 19 & a slowdown in sales, company has sold 2 assets & have at present around £142m in cash
I believe a lot of the turmoil is already priced in ahead of results.
Mcap is at £142m which means their business is valued at cash level.
Very undervalued considering their cash level & staff coming back to work. This business should be worth at least 60-70p I believe based on their previous numbers. Nethertheless a slight risk at present period due to covid 19 but mid- long term this company should recover well as sales move back up.
I will start scaling out around 40-50p to protect profits but will leave some shares to ride the rest of the way. 70p - 80p ULTIMATE TARGET
New CEO to turnaround the company with experience of doing so to others.
Dividend most likely will also be back to attract new investors in months to come.
