Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:30:00 -0500

UBS expects third-quarter (FY3Q) results from two U.S. homebuilders to come in broadly in line with Wall Street estimates, pointing to a stabilization in housing fundamentals after a period of weakness.

The backdrop remains challenging, but mortgage rates have eased somewhat in recent months while consumer confidence has shown signs of steadying, the bank said in a recent note.

The report centers on Lennar Corp. (NYSE: LEN) and KB Home (NYSE: KBH). UBS expects the companies to strike a cautiously optimistic tone as demand volatility has persisted, but buyer traffic has picked up.

What is the outlook for the U.S. construction activity

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 08:00:00 -0500

Construction activity in the U.S. has been in retreat for nearly a year, marking the longest downturn in more than three decades outside of the financial crisis.

The sector, which represents about 5% of GDP, carries an outsized influence given its 92% monthly correlation with economic output since 1992, according to Raymond James.

The latest slowdown follows a surge in 2022–2023, driven by the Infrastructure Bill, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.

That spending boom led to what strategists describe as an excess of “shells” now being filled with equipment, keeping fixed investment positive despite the pullback in structures.

Setup for this construction stock is 'complicated' ahead of earnings

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 11:00:00 -0500

Wolfe Research says the outlook for a major U.S. homebuilder’s fiscal third-quarter earnings is “complicated,” as investor attention remains fixed on margins while order expectations add uncertainty.

“We are cautiously optimistic into the quarter, although we believe the setup is complicated into the print,” the broker said in its preview of Toll Brothers’ (NYSE: TOL) fiscal third quarter earnings.

The luxury U.S. home builder is set to report on Tuesday after the market close.

While gross margin trends have historically outperformed guidance, orders may be more difficult to assess, Wolfe analysts said.
