The upcoming reports for KB Home, along with other homebuilding companies, are anticipated to reflect challenges due to persistently high mortgage rates. Analysts predict that the sales figures will be lackluster, signaling ongoing weaknesses in the homebuilding sector, described as the worst in 40 years. The situation is exacerbated by gross margin pressures faced by competitors such as Lennar, highlighting the broader struggles of the homebuilding industry. Future relief for homebuilding stocks is contingent on the Federal Reserve's stance on inflation and the potential for interest rate reductions. In the current environment, trading these stocks is cautioned against as uncertainties persist.
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.
