Lennar Misses Earnings Expectations as Housing Market Challenges Continue (LEN)June 12, 2026 6:24 AM
IH Market News Lennar Corporation (NYSE:LEN) reported second-quarter results that came in below market forecasts, as the homebuilder continued to contend with affordability pressures, elevated mortgage rates and cautious buyer sentiment across the U.S. housing market. For the quarter ended 31 May 2026, Lennar generated adjusted earnings of $1.31 per share, excluding mark-to-market losses related to technology investments. Reported earnings per share were $1.24, narrowly missing analyst expectations of $1.25. Revenue totalled $7.9 billion, down 2% from the prior year and below the consensus forecast of $8 billion. Home Deliveries Rise Despite Lower Selling Prices The company delivered 20,519 homes during the quarter, representing a 2% increase from a year earlier. However, the average sales price declined 5% year-on-year to $371,000, compared with $389,000 in the same period last year, reflecting continued affordability challenges and the need for pricing adjustments to support demand. Shares of Lennar fell approximately 1.3% in premarket trading following the release of the results. Management Highlights Ongoing Market Pressures Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President Stuart Miller said the operating environment remained difficult, pointing to several long-standing challenges affecting the housing sector. According to Miller, the quarter “was defined by the same stubborn headwinds that have challenged the housing market for the past several years – persistently elevated mortgage rates, constrained affordability, and cautious consumer sentiment, exacerbated by geopolitical uncertainty creating a resurgent inflation reading of 4.2% driven by higher energy prices.” Margins Narrow as Costs and Pricing Weigh on Performance Lennar’s gross margin on home sales fell to 15.6%, compared with 17.8% in the year-earlier period. The decline was primarily attributed to lower revenue per square foot and higher land acquisition costs, although some of the pressure was offset by improvements in construction expenses. New orders declined 4% year-on-year to 21,749 homes during the quarter. Meanwhile, the company ended the period with a backlog of 16,818 homes, representing a total value of approximately $6.6 billion. Third-Quarter Guidance Signals Stable Delivery Volumes Looking ahead, Lennar expects to deliver between 20,500 and 21,500 homes during the third quarter of 2026. The projected average sales price is expected to range from $375,000 to $380,000, while the midpoint of the delivery forecast, at 21,000 homes, is broadly in line with market expectations. Management also anticipates gross margin improving to around 16%, while selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to fall to between 8.8% and 9.0% of home sales. Analysts Focus on Profitability Trends Following the earnings release, Barclays analysts suggested the market reaction would likely be restrained. “We expect a muted to slightly negative reaction tomorrow pending the call,” Barclays analysts said in a post-earnings note. They added: “Investors tend to focus highly on the gross margin, where guidance did hit consensus, but we also think investors have come to understand that SG&A/op. margin and financial services earnings are more correctly the holistic way to view LEN results, given the interplay with gross margin.” Full-Year Outlook Reduced as Uncertainty Persists Lennar lowered its full-year 2026 delivery forecast to approximately 82,000 to 83,000 homes, citing continued pressure from elevated interest rates and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Despite the softer outlook, the company continued returning capital to shareholders, repurchasing 5 million shares for $447 million during the quarter. Lennar finished the period with $1.8 billion in cash within its homebuilding operations, providing significant liquidity as it navigates an uncertain housing market environment.

First quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $229 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 of $520 million, or $1.96 per diluted share. Excluding pretax mark-to-market gains of $15 million on technology investments, first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2026 were $218 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. Excluding pretax mark-to-market losses of $63 million on technology investments, first quarter net earnings attributable to Lennar in 2025 were $567 million or $2.14 per diluted share.Stuart Miller, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lennar, said, "Our first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was defined by the same persistent headwinds that have challenged the housing market for over three years — high mortgage rates, constrained affordability, cautious consumer sentiment, and geopolitical uncertainty, especially now including the recent conflict in Iran. As our results reflect, Lennar remained focused on executing our consistent operating strategy to maintain production and support housing supply, while driving structural improvements across our business.""During the first quarter, we delivered 16,863 homes, generated 18,515 new orders, and maintained our disciplined, production-first operating strategy. Our average sales price was $374,000, reflecting the continued use of approximately 14% in incentives, along with base price adjustments necessary to sustain volume in a market where affordability remains the defining constraint. Gross margin came in at 15.2%, with SG&A of 9.8%, resulting in a net margin of 5.3%." "Our strategy has been to actively design around the affordability challenge rather than waiting it out. We have focused on prioritizing volume to create durable scale advantages, delivering that volume at lower prices, and ultimately improving margins. Operationally, our starts pace of 3.4 homes per community per month and sales pace of 3.6 reflect a measured, even-flow approach across our 1,678 active communities. Our cycle time improved to 122 days, our shortest ever, and our inventory turn increased to 2.5 times, reflecting the strength of our land-light model, as well as improved execution across our construction operations and supply chain. Additionally, our construction costs improved just over 2.5% in the first quarter and have decreased 12% over the last two years, even as labor remains constrained and materials face constant pricing pressure.""In the second quarter, we expect to deliver approximately 20,000 to 21,000 homes with gross margin improving to 15.5% to 16% and SG&A improving to 8.9% to 9.1%, as volume increases and the spring selling season unfolds."Mr. Miller concluded, "While the broader market remains challenged in the near term, exacerbated by current events, we are continuing to operate with conviction and clarity. The fundamental shortage of housing in America has not been solved — demand is real, deferred, and building. As affordability gradually improves, as rates find a more stable footing, and as the nation begins in earnest to address the regulatory and entitlement barriers that constrain supply, Lennar is extremely well positioned for long-term growth. But, until then, we are building the homes America needs, at the prices the market can absorb, with an operating platform that is continuously improving and becoming more efficient every quarter."RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 2026 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2025HomebuildingRevenues from home sales decreased 13% in the first quarter of 2026 to $6.3 billion from $7.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025. Revenues were lower primarily due to an 8% decrease in the average sales price of homes delivered and a 5% decrease in the number of home deliveries. New home deliveries were 16,863 homes in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 17,834 homes in the first quarter of 2025. The average sales price of homes delivered was $374,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $408,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in average sales price of homes delivered in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to continued weakness in the market and an increased use of sales incentives offered to homebuyers.Gross margins on home sales were $951 million, or 15.2%, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 billion, or 18.7%, in the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, gross margins decreased primarily due to lower revenue per square foot and higher land costs year over year, which were partially offset by a decrease in construction costs, reflecting the Company's continued focus on cost-saving initiatives.Selling, general and administrative expenses were $617 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $616 million in the first quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenues from home sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.8% in the first quarter of 2026, from 8.5% in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to less leverage as a result of lower revenues.Financial ServicesOperating earnings for the Financial Services segment were $91 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $143 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower lock volume and lower profit per locked loan.Ancillary BusinessesOperating earnings for the Multifamily segment were $18 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a breakeven result in the first quarter of 2025. Operating loss for the Lennar Other segment was $5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to operating loss of $89 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Lennar Other operating loss for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to operating losses, which was partially offset by mark-to-market gains of $15 million on the Company's technology investments. The Lennar Other operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to mark-to-market losses of $63 million on the Company's technology investments.Tax RateIn the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company had tax provisions of $69 million and $170 million, which resulted in an overall effective income tax rate of 23.1% and 24.6%, respectively. For both periods, the Company's effective income tax rate included state income tax expense and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior period was primarily due to a charitable contribution of appreciated stock to the Lennar Foundation.Share RepurchasesIn the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 2 million shares of its common stock for $237 million at an average share price of $118.54.GuidanceThe following are the Company's expected results of its homebuilding and financial services activities for the second quarter of 2026:New Orders21,000 - 22,000Deliveries20,000 - 21,000Average Sales Price$370,000 - $375,000Gross Margin % on Home Sales15.5% - 16.0%SG&A as a % of Home Sales8.9% - 9.1%Financial Services Operating Earnings$100 million - $110 millionAbout Lennar

(1)Amount represents interest incurred related to homebuilding debt.(2)EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings before interest and taxes. This financial measure has been presented because the Company finds it important and useful in evaluating its performance and believes that it helps readers of the Company's financial statements compare its operations with those of its competitors. Although management finds EBIT to be an important measure in conducting and evaluating the Company's operations, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool as it is not reflective of the actual profitability generated by the Company during the period. Management compensates for the limitations of using EBIT by using this non-GAAP measure only to supplement the Company's GAAP results. Due to the limitations discussed, EBIT should not be viewed in isolation, as it is not a substitute for GAAP measures. LENNAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESSegment Information(In thousands)(unaudited)

(1)Net homebuilding debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net homebuilding debt (homebuilding debt less homebuilding cash and cash equivalents) divided by total capital (net homebuilding debt plus stockholders' equity). The Company believes the ratio of net homebuilding debt to total capital is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in homebuilding operations. However, because net homebuilding debt to total capital is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the Company's GAAP results. Contact:

This Leading Home-Builder Is Falling, Here's The Trade $LEN

This morning, most of the leading home-builder stocks are coming under selling pressure. Home-builder stocks such as Lennar Corp (NYSE:LEN), Toll Brothers Inc (NYSE:TOL), DR Horton Inc (NYSE:DHI) and other are all trading lower by more than 3.0 percent today. Many investors are blaming the recent Redfin Corp (NASDAQ:RDFN) guidance for the decline in the home-building sector, but the industry group has been slumping since the start of 2018.

Lennar Corp (NYSE:LEN) is one particular home-builder that has caught my eye. This stock topped out on January 22, 2018 at $72.17 a share. Since that high pivot, the stock has steadily declined lower throughout the year. Today, LEN stock is trading down by $2.43 to $50.94 a share. Traders should note that the stock has been trading in a sideways range since mid-May. This pattern tells me that there is one more move lower to go before the stock finds a defined bottom. Traders and investors must now watch the $45.00 area as the next major support level for the home-builder. This is where the stock broke out in February 2017. Very often, prior break-out levels will serve as major support when retested.

In Las Vegas, a market dominated by public builders—the eight biggest builders there in 2016 were publics who controlled 75.4% of the market share, according to BUILDER’s Local Leaders data—American West Homes founder Larry Canarelli says the land competition is fierce. For those in the area who aren’t a public or large private builder, like American West, there aren’t many lots to go around. “The little guy, he is caught by wherever he can find between a 2.5- and 5-acre piece,” Canarelli says. “If the little guy finds a piece in North Las Vegas that he can put 12 houses on and he can buy it cheap, he’s gotta buy it. Because that’s all he can get.

“It’s not like it used to be where there would be 20-acre pieces that you could put 100 homesites on and maybe put a little community park in,” he adds. “Those pieces don’t exist now.”

As most high school juniors can tell you, when inventory is low and demand is high, prices rise. The June HMI survey also found that 81% of builders said the price of developed A lots was somewhat to substantially higher than it was the year prior. In comparison, 74% said the same was true with respect to B lots, and for C lots it was 65%.

Shrinking lot supply and rising land prices make business complicated for any builder. But for those at companies without large development teams or sizable capital backings, finding and buying land is even more of a reason to lose sleep. (Builder Magazine Feb 5, 2018)

LEN is a bright spot in a down market today. A lot of news reports are talking about low sales in the housing market but that is only due to low inventory. Higher rates should not impact LEN as long as demand is so strong. This should be a great year for LEN shares and MSPC is another great stock which happens to be up at the 52-week high on strong volume. Many of LEN's assets such as lots should be increased in value on upcoming financial filings which equates to higher intrinsic value per share. If that happens the share price should also increase.

LEN is in the hottest markets which I think is key to a successful 2018. If you look at KBH or TOL you will see that they are on the fringes of some of the hottest markets but, unless I am missing something, they are not in the heart of the very hottest real estate markets like LEN and other competitors. This bodes well for LEN. As long as LEN can continue to divine which markets will be the hottest and avoid getting trapped in downside markets it should be a great year. What makes a hot market? High demand mostly but low supply can be a contributing factor. Here in California, we are experiencing very tight market conditions. There are very few existing homes on the market and many buyers ready to pounce on anything that moves. Anyone can put their house up for sale for any price within reason and it will sell like a hot cake in December. If LEN cannot capitalize on these market conditions I will be astounded.

For those worried about interest rates, I disagree that higher rates will be a problem. LEN operates like a bank and makes money on higher interest rates as long as they don't rise too high too quickly. Lawrence Yun, prominent economist, recently stated on NBR that 6% would be a possible tipping point where drag would be introduced.

Lennar Corp. has reclaimed its spot as the nation’s largest homebuilder after completing the acquisition of CalAtlantic Group. Miami-based Lennar (LEN) and Virginia-based CalAtlantic (CAA) both received shareholder approval for the merger on Monday. Each share of CalAtantic may be exchanged for either 0.885 shares of Lennar or $48.26 in cash.

Sentiment: BUY

This report is typical for markets all around the country:

"The volume of housing sales is holding steady in the Cincinnati region as average and median home sales prices continue to rise and set new records.

The 2017 year-end average home price climbed to $202,169 compared to $190,908 in 2016, a 5.9 percent increase, and the December average sale price climbed to $198,356 compared to $190,625 a year earlier, a 4.06 percent increase, according to the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors.

At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale, as of Dec. 31, continued its year-over-year declining trend to 4,360 from 5,049 a year ago, down 13.65 percent."

Lower inventories, high demand and higher prices is going on in several regions. Hopefully, LEN can capitalize on the positive market and have a great 2018.

Is Lennar Corp(NYSE:LEN) Signaling Lower Prices For Home-builders?

Leading home-builder stock Lennar Corp(NYSE:LEN) has been steadily falling since June 20, 2017. At that time, the stock traded as high as $55.75 a share, since then LEN shares have declined to $50.32 a share. The stock is now trading below its 50-day moving average which puts it in a weak technical position. Should LEN stock trade and close below its 200-day moving average it would be very negative for the stock. Traders and investors will need to watch the $46.00 to $47.00 level as the next major support area for LEN stock. This will likely be a very attractive level for a bounce in the share price.

Lennar to Houston: We have a problem (1/15/15)

(Reuters) - Lennar Corp (LEN.N), the second-largest U.S. homebuilder by the number of homes sold, said it expects 2015 margins to be squeezed as falling oil prices hurt demand in Houston, a city heavily dependent on the energy sector.

The warning overshadowed a 50 percent jump in quarterly profit and pushed Lennar's shares down as much as 9 percent.

Shares of rivals D.R. Horton Inc (DHI.N) and PulteGroup Inc (PHM.N) were also hit.

Houston accounted for about 12 percent of Lennar's homebuilding revenue in 2013.

"We're well positioned (in Houston) but we're smart enough to know that as oil moves down, there may be some job loss, primarily more on the higher end, and it could impact pricing," a company executive said on a conference call.

The first oil industry layoffs have already been announced in Houston, with realtors there predicting a decline of up to 12 percent in home sales this year.

Lennar said it expected 2015 gross margin of 24 percent, down from 25.4 percent in 2014.

Florida-based Lennar is not the only one to warn on margins for the current year. Smaller rival KB Home (KBH.N) said it expects higher labor and land costs and sale incentives to hit margins in 2015.

"Lennar as well as the overall industry's pricing power has peaked. We expect flat to somewhat down pricing going forward. This is going to lead to lower margins probably for the next couple of years," Jim Krapfel, an analyst with research firm Morningstar, said.

Lennar has so far been able to raise prices despite a choppy recovery in the U.S. housing market as it mainly caters to buyers looking to upgrade to a bigger home. Such buyers are generally not affected much by volatile interest rates.

The company's gross margin fell for the first time in three years in the fourth quarter ended Nov. 30.

Chief Executive Stuart Miller said he remained optimistic about the housing recovery, citing falling gasoline prices, low interest rates and the Federal Housing Administration's decision to cut premiums.

Lennar earned $1.07 per share in the fourth quarter, trumping the average analyst estimate of 96 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Lennar's shares were down 6.3 percent at $42.88 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Up to Wednesday's close, the company's stock had risen about 20 percent in the past 12 months, compared with a 12 percent rise in the Dow Jones Home Construction Index .DJUSHB.

Lennar Prevails in Defamation and Extortion Case Against Marsch; Jury Awards $1 Billion in Damages




Lennar (NYSE:LEN)
Intraday Stock Chart

Today : Tuesday 3 December 2013
Click Here for more Lennar Charts.


MIAMI, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN and LEN.B), one of the nation's largest homebuilders, announced that a civil jury on Monday awarded Lennar Corporation $1 billion in damages against California developer Nicolas Marsch III and his company, Briarwood Capital LLC, on court findings of defamation and conspiracy to extort money from the Company.

"While collecting the award is doubtful, the true value of the verdict is the validation of our integrity, credibility and transparency, which have always been cornerstones of our foundation," said Lennar's Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Miller. "The jury award represents a complete vindication of Lennar's reputation and good name."

The $1 billion jury award, which includes punitive damages, brings to an end seven years of litigation in which courts in California and Florida vindicated Lennar's positions and rejected Marsch's accusations.

The jury awarded damages following proceedings and findings by the trial court that Marsch was liable for conspiring with convicted felon Barry Minkow to engage in an unlawful scheme to extort money from Lennar. In 2011, Minkow returned to federal prison to serve a five-year term for his role in the same extortion and defamation scheme.

The jury delivered a verdict against Marsch and Briarwood of $802 million in compensatory damages as well as $200 million in punitive damages. Despite receiving repeated notices from the court and Lennar, Marsch declined to appear at Monday's trial and testify before the jury.

"The jury's award sends an unmistakable message that you cannot extort companies and lie for money and expect to get away with it," said Daniel Petrocelli of O'Melveny & Myers, the lead trial counsel for Lennar.
