Lennar's stock falls to pace homebuilder decliners after earnings beat but outlook 'somewhat' disappoints
Shares of Lennar Corp. fell 1.5% in afternoon trading, enough to pace the handful of decliners among its homebuilding peers, after the company reported second-quarter profit, revenue, deliveries and new orders that beat expectations, according to FactSet, but provided "somewhat" disappointing guidance. J.P. Morgan analyst Michael Rehaut reiterated the neutral rating he's had on the stock since March 18, and kept his price target at $64. He said he believes Lennar's guidance for third-quarter orders to decline 3% to 4% from a year ago, and fourth-quarter orders to fall 6% to 8%, "falls somewhat short of investor expectations for order growth to have recently turned modestly positive." Rehaut said, however, that despite the stock's reaction, he said the outlook is "relatively encouraging," as it comes after "challenging" comparisons of 9% growth in last year's third quarter and 26% growth in last year's fourth quarter. The stock was the biggest decliner, of the 6 of 44 equity components of the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF that were declining. The ETF was up 1.8% in afternoon trading. Over the past three months, Lennar's stock has run up 70.4%, the home construction ETF has hiked up 65.1% and the S&P 500 has advanced 31.4%.
