Lennar
$LEN -2% - Shares fell after the homebuilder lowered its FY2026 home delivery forecast to 82,000-83,000 homes from approximately 85,000, citing persistent headwinds from elevated mortgage rates, affordability challenges, cautious consumer sentiment, and geopolitical uncertainty. While second-quarter results were mixed, investors focused on the softer outlook, with Lennar forecasting Q3 new orders of 21,000-22,000 homes and deliveries of 20,500-21,500 homes, both below consensus expectations. Management noted that higher energy prices and renewed inflation pressures continue to weigh on housing demand, reinforcing concerns about the pace of market recovery.
