<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, KB Home's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.65%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Is KB Home Gaining or Losing Market Support?

Shares of homebuilders are trading lower. Housing-related stocks may be down amid a recent rise in mortgage rates.

RMAX

Shares of housing-related stocks are trading higher following a decline in MBA 30-year mortgage rates data, along with an increase in MBA Mortgage Applications data and Mortgage Refinance Index data. This may indicate that more buyers may enter the housing market.

Homebuilder stocks have underperformed the broader market in 2025, with the S&amp;P Composite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/46004883/homebuilder-etfs-climb-thin-foundation-permits-sentiment-slide">1500 Homebuilding Index</a> (S15HOME) down roughly 8% year-to-date, compared to a 4% gain in the S&amp;P 500, according to Bank of America Securities.
The weakness comes as builder confidence for newly built single-family homes remains historically low. Earlier in June, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index <a href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2025/06/builder-sentiment-at-third-lowest-reading-since-2012">showed </a>a reading of 32—its third-lowest level since 2012. Only December 2022 (31) and April 2020 (30) posted worse readings.

According to an NAHB analysis released on Wednesday, elevated interest rates and economic uncertainty sent more home buyers to the sidelines in May as housing affordability conditions remain challenging.
Sales of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2025/06/elevated-rates-challenging-affordability-conditions-put-a-damper-on-new-home-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">newly</a> built single-family homes declined 13.7% in May, falling back to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 623,000.
According to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau, the pace was the slowest since October of last year, with mortgage rates averaging 6.83% in May.
Sales were particularly slow in the South, with the pace of sales down 21% in May.
BofA adds that the demand for new homes is still muted, and existing home listings are rising, but they are seeing a&#8221;frozen&#8221; resale market.
In its investor note on Friday, BofA added that in 2025, the prices of new homes have fallen. On average, new homes cost 0.3% less than existing (resale) homes. This is a big shift from the past when new homes were usually 15–20% more expensive than existing ones.
Housing inventory has gone up. The number of new homes for sale is at its highest point in over a decade. Existing home listings are up 20% compared to last year, though still not back to pre-pandemic (2019) levels. Vacancy rates have also risen after being very low for a while.
BofA also writes that homebuilders continue to use incentives (rate buydowns) and build smaller homes to address some of the affordability challenges.
NAHB <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/press-releases/2025/06/sharp-drop-in-multifamily-production-brings-overall-housing-starts-down" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> a sharp decline in multifamily production pushed overall housing starts down in May, while single-family output was flat due to economic and tariff uncertainty and elevated interest rates.
"Our latest builder survey shows that development and market conditions remain a major concern for builders, with consumer confidence lower and elevated interest rates for buyers and builders," said Buddy Hughes, chairman of NAHB.
Most recently, homebuilder KB Home (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) reported second-quarter revenue of $1.52 billion, beating analyst&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a> of $1.51 billion. The company&nbsp;reported second-quarter earnings of $1.50 per share, beating analyst estimates of $1.47 per share.
KB Home delivered 3,120 homes in the quarter, down 11% on a year-over-year basis. The average selling price "increased slightly" to&nbsp;$488,700, while net orders decreased 13% year-over-year to 3,460. Ending backlog value was down 27% to $2.29 billion and inventories <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46063325/kb-home-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-homebuilder-lowers-2025-housing-revenue-outlook-as-market-conditions-soften" rel="noreferrer noopener">increased 7% to $5.91 billion</a>.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Maintains Market Perform on KB Home, Lowers Price Target to $58

Shares of KB Home (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) traded higher on Tuesday after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46063325/kb-home-q2-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-homebuilder-lowers-2025-housing-revenue-outlook-as-market-conditions-soften">upbeat fiscal second-quarter revenues a day earlier.</a>
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
BofA Securities On KB Home
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/596530e4988ca80001209fc0/rafe-jadrosich">Analyst Rafe Jadrosich</a> maintained a Buy rating, while cutting the price target from $58 to $54.
Although KB Home reported in-line earnings for its fiscal second quarter, it lowered its full-year revenue and margin guidance, Jadrosich said in a note. The company had net orders of 3,500, missing expectations and representing a 13% year-on-year decline, he added.
"KBH continued to lower base home prices in underperforming communities," the analyst wrote. Management reduced their revenue guidance from $6.6 billion-$7 billion to $6.3 billion-$6.5 billion and their margin guidance from 19.2%-20% to 19%-19.4% "due to lower deliveries and regional mix," he further stated.

JPMorgan On KB Home
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58f9fdc60bd991000159a4c3/michael-rehaut">Analyst Michael Rehaut</a> reiterated a Neutral rating on the stock.
Although KB Home reported in-line earnings, its gross margin contracted by 60 basis points (bps) sequentially and by 150 bps year-on-year to 19.7%, Rehaut said. The company's absorption rate, which indicates the pace of sales, declined to 17%, worse than expectations of a decline of 14%.
Management lowered their full-year guidance "across most metrics," the analyst wrote. The company's lowered gross margin outlook reflects a year-on-year contraction between 170 and 210 bps, he further stated.
KBH Price Action: Shares of KB Home were up 4.74% to $82.44 on Tuesday.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist Jeremy Siegel expressed his opinions on the ongoing tensions as Trump announced a ceasefire.
&#8220;Geopolitics is a wildcard, but the U.S. is far less exposed than it was in the 1970s. Even a brief closure of the Strait of Hormuz would not derail domestic growth—shale capacity and strategic reserves mute the blow,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I maintain that investors should stay overweight equities versus bonds,&#8221; he added, sayin that &#8220;don't just chase the AI enablers at high multiples to earnings; real margin expansion could very well accrue to users of AI—banks, industrial, consumer-staples, mid-cap firms that are learning where they can cut costs, increase output and improve margins.&#8221;
In its most recent note, BlackRock spotlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46068345/blackrock-bets-big-on-defense-companies-amid-escalating-geopolitical-tensions-palantir-lockheed-">defense sector as a top investment prospect</a>, fueled by escalating geopolitical fragmentation and a worldwide focus on national security.
As per BlackRock, the U.S. distinguishes itself through its extensive defense spending, which, according to SIPRI data, "spends more than double on defense than Europe."
Moreover, the U.S. hosts the world's most advanced defense and defense technology companies, acting as a vital provider of critical systems like air and missile defense for numerous countries.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock identifies substantial opportunities in defense tech. This expansive field includes not just artificial intelligence (AI) and software firms but also crucial IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that drive cutting-edge defense capabilities.
BlackRock observes that "growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense." This highlights a targeted investment strategy in defense, where technological leadership and strong national security frameworks are increasingly critical.
