Incentives Pressuring Lennar’s Homebuilding Gross Margin
Sep 20, 2024
-
Image: Lennar’s shares have done quite well the past several years.
For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024, Lennar expects new orders in the range of 19,000-19,300, deliveries of 22,500-23,000 with an average sales price of about $425,000. Lennar ended the fiscal third quarter with $4.04 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $2.26 billion in senior notes and other debts payable, net, good for a nice net cash position on the balance sheet. Though the company’s gross margin guidance for its fiscal fourth quarter came up short, with expectations of it being flat with the fiscal third quarter (22.5% versus consensus of 24.3%), the backdrop for the housing market remains strong and may grow stronger as the Fed engages in a rate-cutting cycle.
