Cavco Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) tells MHProNews that it has signed a Letter of Intent, and has reached an understanding, on terms to acquire Lexington Homes, Inc.

The purchase of Lexington is expected to improve Cavco’s ability to participate in the growing Southeastern housing market, as well as better serve the needs of Lexington customers. The purchase price, due to be paid in cash at closing and funded with Cavco’s internal capital, was not disclosed.

The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Cavco has been in the news recently, and in their most earnings report, the company delivered $1.03 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.92 by $0.11.

Those results fueled investor activity, as JP Morgan Chase, BNP Paribas Arbitrage SA, and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas all either increased their stakes in the company or purchased new positions. Cavco was also recently featured as British insurance giant Legal & General made a significant move in its stake in the company.
