KB Home
KB Home (KBH) is a US homebuilder that designs, constructs and sells new single-family homes across several regional markets, primarily targeting first-time and move-up buyers. With a market capitalisation of about $4.11 billion, the company operates a land acquisition and build-to-order model intended to limit inventory risk by delivering homes upon sale. Key factors investors typically watch include housing starts and sales trends, mortgage rates, raw material and labour costs, and availability of developed lots. Profitability can vary with the housing cycle — revenues rise when demand is strong and can fall sharply in downturns. KB Home’s balance sheet, land position and order backlog offer insight into near-term performance, but investors should be mindful of cyclical sensitivity, rising interest rates, and regional exposure. This summary is educational only and not personal investment advice; values can go down as well as up, and past performance does not guarantee future returns.
