"KB Home, you know, I have to always hit my real estate sector. We're looking at shares of KB Home. This is ticker KBH. We did get uh results out of LAR yesterday. KB Home is one of its peers. We're looking at the home building industry. They did post fourth quarter profit that missed expectations. The midpoint of that outlook range for fiscal 2026. Housing revenue also did fall short of expectations. So you are seeing the stock taking quite a breather down more than 8% right now. And it's been a pretty rough year for them as well down about 12%. Really just still seeing a locked housing market. Rates still remain high and there's a lot of pressures when you think about tariffs when it wastes over materials and all those things. So we really got to see whether or not these home builders are really able to turn it around."

The KB Home commentary focuses on the real estate firm's disappointing earnings, missed revenue expectations, and broader challenges in the housing sector, citing a locked market and high material costs as ongoing issues.
