KB Home is expected to report lukewarm sales results, as reflected in the views of market analysts. The prevailing high mortgage rates are a significant hurdle, contributing to a challenging homebuilding market, one of the worst the industry has seen in four decades. Experts speculate that this unfavorable environment is a reason for the Federal Reserve to remain open to rate cuts, despite fluctuations in oil prices. The outlook for homebuilding stocks remains grim, with analysts predicting little relief until the Fed signals a reduction in the federal funds rate to around 2-2.5%. This suggests that traders should take caution and avoid trading in the current market conditions.
Likes the US housing space. This has come off pretty hard here. Doesn’t know if right now is the time. Seeing major negative sentiment readings on US homes and it is right down towards its bottom. Thinks this is a good space to get into right now. Over the next 3 years, we are more likely to see a growth scenario play out in the US, rather than a deflation scenario.
Thinks it is fairly early in the game for homebuilders. This company came home with very good results this morning and surprised the Street a little bit on revenues and on earnings. Average house prices are up 12%. They are mostly a Southwest US operation with a lot of business in California.
Gordon ReidOne of the major US homebuilders. They have all done extremely well. This had a selloff recently because of the threat of tapering. Cyclical, but a longer-term cycle. With the foul weather out of the way and the bad news from tapering already priced in, there is still a lot of ground to be made up. Cheap financing is still in place. This should be okay until such time as we actually see a rise in interest rates.
(Market Call Minute) Although housing starts took a bit of a pause, we could see an upswing. Maybe next year.
John StephensonWhen interest rates suddenly spiked, it was a perfect opportunity to step in. Lots of opportunity to expand. The next leg up is on fundamental growth.

Looks a bit expensive based on PE ratio. Valuation is a bit stretched. You are going to have fits and starts in the US housing market.
