LEN Stock Analysis — Lennar Corporation

Bull Case

At 14.0x forward earnings, Lennar is cheaper than most industrials even as it maintains a $20.8B market cap and national scale.

Bear Case

With forward EPS expected to fall -3.0% and a trailing P/E of 13.6x, any further P/E compression to 12x would mean another 12% downside from here.

Catalyst to Watch

Watch for upcoming housing starts and mortgage rate data—any sign of stabilization or rebound could challenge the negative growth narrative.
