Analyst projections of the future price of KB Home stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
KB Home’s built-to-order mix reached 74% of third-quarter deliveries, up from 60% in the second quarter. This helped adjusted housing gross margin recover sequentially to 16.8%, while backlog grew for the first time in four years. (KB Home, HousingWire)
The company is expanding its selling platform: average community count rose 8% year on year and management expects roughly 115 new openings in 2026. Its new Atlanta division, with 110 acquired homesites and a first community planned for early 2027, adds a longer-term growth avenue. (KB Home, KB Home)
KB Home is still returning capital while investing for growth. It repurchased $50 million of shares in the third quarter, taking nine-month repurchases to $175 million, alongside nearly $725 million of land investment and reported liquidity of $942.4 million. (KB Home, StockTitan)
Demand has weakened materially: third-quarter revenue fell 20% and deliveries fell 19% year on year. Net orders dropped 12%, while monthly orders per community fell to 3.1 from 3.8, pointing to slower absorption across the community base. (KB Home, Builder Magazine)
Pricing and cost pressure are squeezing profitability. Adjusted third-quarter housing gross margin fell to 16.8% from 18.9% a year earlier, and full-year guidance was cut to 16.0%-16.2%; fourth-quarter average selling price guidance also fell to about $480,000 from roughly $500,000 previously. (HousingWire, KB Home)
Affordability remains vulnerable to higher mortgage rates, while resale competition is intensifying. KB Home said resale inventory had reached its highest level in a decade, and its cancellation rate rose to 18% from 17%, increasing the risk of further incentives and price concessions.
