Movement Alert|Lennar Intraday Rise 5.13% in Regular Trading, Berkshire Hathaway Buying Continues to Support Sentiment

Market Focus10-15

On October 15, Lennar rose 5.13% in Regular Trading, trading at $77.475/share, with turnover of $113 million.

The clearest recent catalyst is continued disclosure of Berkshire Hathaway purchases in Lennar, which has helped support market sentiment toward the stock.

Recent filings showed Berkshire added about 2.42 million shares for roughly $193 million, following earlier purchases of about 1.68 million shares for roughly $136 million and about 2.74 million shares for roughly $212 million in late September. That buying came even as Lennar’s latest quarterly backdrop remained pressured: reported third-quarter revenue was about $8.0 billion and below expectations, while cumulative results for the period through August showed revenue down 8.92% year over year to $22.61 billion and net income down 48.65% to $827 million. Against a homebuilding market still constrained by mortgage rates above 7%, the repeated accumulation by a major long-term investor appears to be the most direct news factor behind today’s move.
