Lennar Announces Huge Loss of 244 Million for 2nd Quarter 2007

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Lennar Home Builders has announced their earnings today and it was ugly.

The company’s total home deliveries were down 28% from last year, while new orders fell 31%. Moving ahead, Lennar anticipates the downturn in the market to continue. The company also expects to be in a loss position in the third quarter.

My question is, did Lennar drop all their bad news at once to get it over with and clean the books, or is this a harbinger of things to come?

Lennar [LEN|LEN], one of the nation’s top homebuilders, reported a second quarter loss of $244.2 million versus a profit of $324.7 million in the same period a year ago. The company stated that it is having to deal with high inventories and dropping real estate prices and expects a loss in the third quarter as well. Trading Markets

    Yes and yes! I think we’re going to see very similar reports from several major homebuilders in the near future. Should be a fun ride! Weeeeeee!

  2. Yeah this is just the beginning of the bad news. Too much inventory.

  3. It’s like they never even heard of supply & demand before. Common sense should warn not to build where and when there’s no demand.
