KB Home (KBH)

CAPS Rating:
*

Homebuilder with domestic operations in the following regions: West Coast, Southwest, Central and Southeast. Also provides mortgage banking services to the majority of its domestic homebuyers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, KB Home Mortgage Company.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Okay ... so I tried a swing short on some of the homies that had popped up a few weeks ago. Most of them worked out for minor gains and a few lost. Now, with the rate cuts, Fed. stimulus, gas going down and whatever else, ... changed my thinking that now is the time to be accumulating home builder...More

Dear KB Homes,

I have enough homes now. Thank you. You can stop building them.

Signed,
America

P.S. I can't afford these mortgages you gave me so I am going to stop making payments.

Avatar joker245 (95.68) Submitted: 7/01/08 10:57 AM : Underperform Start Price: $20.57 KBH Score: 8.74

People who think the huge players in this business like KB or Pulte are immune from chapter 11 have no idea how long and severe the current real estate plunge will be. We have markets with three-plus years of supply and that doesn't take into account the units that are in the pipe. The rub of it is that the builders have to either (1) keep building or (2) close their doors. The demand just isn't there for option 1, which means even larger concerns like KB are going down. In fact, they're already laying off people all over the country in anticipation of a protracted downturn. Don't get me wrong, they'll still be around in 5-10 years, but they'll have gone through a reorg in the meantime with equity holders having been wiped out.

Hmm.... I think I hit the wrong button (Meant to call underperform). Oh well, the price is low, so let's see what happens.
