Experts are mixed on the outlook for Lennar Corp. (LEN-N), reflecting the challenges faced by the homebuilding sector amid high interest rates. While some see potential support coming from legislative restrictions on institutional ownership of homes, others highlight the difficulty many buyers face in affording new homes. There is a recognition of a chronic undersupply of housing in the US, but many believe that investing in homebuilders isn't a straightforward buy-and-hold strategy due to cyclical nature and macroeconomic factors. Additionally, concerns regarding the company's recent reorganization and its tax implications cloud the short-term outlook. Overall, while there are pockets of optimism with potential future rate cuts, the consensus leans towards caution given the prevailing economic conditions.

BUY

Don't fear a shutdown, but a slowdown due to the new Omicron variant. Homebuilders thrive during fears of a variant, because people will stay at home working. Lennar is the top pick in this space. It's up 40% this year, though down 7% from its peak. Also likes Toll Brothers.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/20, Up 29%) He saw weakness here due to the Delta variant, which impacted sentiment, but in recent days that sentiment has risen (for Lennar and all homebuilders) according to statistics. LEN has a healthy backlog in the 35-39% growth range. Strong growth lies ahead, a strong balance sheet (26% debt-to-capital) and $2.8 billion in cash. Shares have come off 10-15% in the past month, but are starting to recover. You can dip your toe now.

COMMENT

They report Monday. Excellent managers. He wants them to talk about supply shortages and home demand. Lennar is important to retail, banking and the hybrid work from home economy.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our TOP PICK recommendation of LEN as the largest home builder in the US. Continued low interest rates has sparked demand growth in their prime markets of the Sun Belt, Florida and Texas, where housing inventory is already tight. JP Morgan recently put a $141 target price on the stock. It trades at only 10x earnings, compared to peers at over 20x and is valued currently at less than 2x book. It pays a dividend backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow, while paying down debt and building cash reserves. We would buy this with stop at $96 -- looking to achieve $140 -- upside potential over 32%. Yield 0.95% (Analysts’ price target is $117.25)

TOP PICK

Trades at 10x earnings, expanded gross margin by over 400 basis points. Talk of peak housing in the market, but we're not even close. This is a supply issue. Long-term demographics support expanding housing. In the sweet spot. Low interest rates plus desire to move out of cities. Yield is 0.97%. (Analysts’ price target is $117.40)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly LEN recently reported revenue growth over 21%, easily beating the consensus outlook. New orders is creating a growing back log for the home builder company. Margins are doubling to over 26%, while SG&A expenses are declining -- all going directly to the bottom line. Cash reserves are over $2.5 billion, even after retiring over $300 million in debt, which resulted in S&P revising their rating to investment grade. The stock is setting up a nice technical foundation, which we think could propel the stock ultimately to $121 -- upside potential over 23%. We would buy this with a stop loss at $70. It also pays a dividend, backed by a payout ratio less than 15% of cash flow. Yield 1.02% (Analysts’ price target is $109.50)

BUY

They report Wednesday. To some, this is the hottest US housing market ever and he predicts more great numbers. Mind you, there's been a spike in costs of raw materials that go into homes. LEN is up 21% YTD.

BUY

He predicts a good report next week, but it won't matter. Will the vaccines cease the flight to the suburbs and hurt this stock? The homebuilder stocks will do well post-Covid, because interest rates are so low, so people will keep buying homes. Unlikely that the Fed will raise rates anytime soon.

TOP PICK

Low mortgage rates and a want to move to less dense housing has been a tailwind for home builders. Financing is quite cheap and there is a real issue with supply. Demand outstrips supply. (Analysts’ price target is $87.78)

BUY

The US housing strength keeps catching stock analysts by surprise. Lennar just released a fine quarter. Home building is surging along with great demand for it. This isn't supposed to happen considering high unemployment and businesses closing for so many., The pandemic has changed everything--if you work from home, you're not waiting for a vaccine, but converting your bedroom into an office. This work at home trend is a tailwind to furniture companies like Wayfair.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 06/19, Up 47%) Small caps are in the sweet spot. This is a home-builder stock, driven by strong US consumers, low interest rates and low unemployment.

TOP PICK

The biggest U.S. home builder that's acquired other hold builders. They operate mostly in the U.S. south (west and east). Trades at 7x earnings and below book value. Cheap. (Analysts’ price target is $57.10)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick on May 2, 2017, Up 51%) It's now the largest U.S. homebuilder after a takeover. He likes the whole group of homebuilders and owns many, because building starts remain strong. However, there's lots of demand, but not enough supply, including land and labour which will push prices up. Inexpensive valuation under 10x earnings. A good entry point here.

WAIT

Would not be a buyer right now, wait for a pull back, prefers tollbridgers as it is a higher end builder, but he even sold this one a month ago.
