on april 17th, i was asked about installed building products, ibp.uld get back to him ibp installs various building products, especially insulation, waterproofing, closet doors and shelving when it comes to new construction of single family homes, these guys are either number one or number two in most of the markets that's a lot of markets since they operate in 48 states. but here's the thing installed building products is joined at the hip to the housing market and so it has the same problems as the homebuilders right now. even though the company itself is in great shape. the stock market wants nothing to do with this thing. ibp's stock is down 25% year to date now, that's nothing to do with the numbers, though. the company's most recent quarter was very solid with 18% revenue growth pricing is strong. the earnings are growing like a weed just like the housing market itself right now, ibp is doing pretty darn well unfortunately many investors don't seem to believe that it can keep doing it. with labor costs on the rise and the fed continuing to hike
