I know Sleazer homes well. I wouldn't bet on this company going bankrupt because they can offer massive dilution. However, their cash to debt ratio is one of the worst in the industry and similar to a private builder. Additionally, based on the… More

Lots O' debt. As we work off the excess housing inventory and first time buyer stimulus recedes the homebuilder recovery might appear a bit premature.

This stock is bleeding cash. The only good thing is that it's bleeding less money than it used to but based on the last time it was profitable, Beazer would need RE prices to back to 2006 and 2007 levels and that just isn't happening in the near future. The company isn't going to go bankrupt anytime soon since their debt is reasonably spread out but they're just not making money on the sales of their homes. Gross profit of 5M for the quarter ending june 2009 doens't come close to covering the rest of their expenses. I fully expect home prices to take a dive or at best remain stagnant. In that case BZH will really be in dire straits... their inventory is probably over valued but every home they sell will come at a loss. chicken or egg, this stocks going down.
