Shares of Lennar, KB Home, and PulteGoup are all lower this afternoon
The homebuilding sector is facing pressure today, after D.R. Horton (DHI) reported lackluster fiscal fourth-quarter results and issued worse-than-expected 2025 guidance. As a result, DHI is heading for its worst day since March 2020, and sector peers Lennar Corp Class A (NYSE:LEN), KB Home (NYSE:KBH), and PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM).
Lennar stock was one of the worst stocks trading on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) this afternoon, though its pared some losses to trade 3.5% lower at $168.06, at last glance. While today's pullback was kept in check by the $160 level, LEN is still trading at its lowest mark since July. For the quarter, the security is now down 10.6%, but boasts a 12.5% year-to-date lead.
At last glance, KB Home stock was down 3.2% at $77.45, earlier trading as low as $74 -- its lowest level since early August.

PulteGroup stock was off by 3.6%, last seen trading at $129. Today's dip to the $122 level marks PHM's lowest clip since late-August. The $122 area acted as both resistance and support in August. On the charts, the equity is trading below its 80-day moving average for the first time since early July, and is down 10.2% for the quarter.
