Lennar Q3 earnings fall amid tough housing market; shares hit 52-week lows despite Berkshire Hathaway stake increase

Lennar Corporation reported disappointing Q3 earnings with revenue dropping to $8 billion and gross margin at 15.8%, pressured by high mortgage rates and weak market sentiment. Despite Berkshire Hathaway increasing its stake, Lennar's shares hit 52-week lows. The company has improved its return on equity to 21% through an asset-light strategy but cut its FY26 home delivery guidance to 80,000–81,000 units due to ongoing demand softness. Investors remain cautious, awaiting signs of macroeconomic recovery before considering new positions.

Lennar's shares are trading near their 52-week low on Pluang, priced at USD 78.43 with a slight 1-day gain of 0.09%. The stock sees balanced investor interest, with 53% of orders to buy and 47% to sell. This data is current as of Sep 17, 2026 21:02 WIB.
