In the current market session, Lennar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) share price is at $108.37, after a 3.56% decrease. Over the past month, the stock went up by 5.46%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 29.13%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Evaluating Lennar P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 10.81 in the Household Durables industry, Lennar Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 8.2. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747256430_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Intraday Update

A Look Into Lennar Inc's Price Over Earnings

Despite a powerful 22% surge in the S&amp;P 500 since the April lows—driven by easing U.S.-China trade tensions and a 90-day pause on new tariffs—only half of the index&#8217;s stocks have managed to rise above their 200-day moving average, indicating a market rally <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers">that remains potentially incomplete.</a>
This technical indicator, often used to gauge long-term trends and market breadth, currently shows that just 49.9% of S&amp;P 500 components are in what traders would consider a bullish trend. 
That figure remains below both the five- and 10-year averages of 60%, suggesting a wide swath of the market has yet to participate in the rebound.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Breadth Gauge Shows Room To Run</h3>
Over the past four years, the percentage of stocks above their 200-day moving average has moved within a wide 10% to 92% range. The extreme lows—seen in June and September 2022 at just 10%—came during periods of heightened recession fears and monetary tightening. 
The recent cycle bottom occurred just last month, when the figure dipped to 15% following April's sharp, tariff-driven selloff.
The highest reading in the last four years came in May 2021, at 92%, during a time of peak post-pandemic optimism. More recently, a high of 82% was recorded in September 2024, following the start of Federal Reserve policy easing.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Analysts Say About The Tariff Pause and Market Reaction</h3>
Analysts say that the 90-day tariff truce announced in April and this week&#8217;s truce between the U.S. and China helped revive risk appetite, but they remain cautious about its long-term effects.
In a note on Wednesday, Peter Oppenheimer, strategist at Goldman Sachs, said the outcome was "much better than we had expected," noting that the tariff levies of 30 percentage points by the U.S. and +5 points by China were significantly lower than prior worst-case estimates.
Oppenheimer also highlighted that the new U.S.-UK trade agreement contributes to a more constructive global growth outlook and has mitigated fears of long-term economic damage from the April drawdown.
He added that the market has begun to price out recession risks. 
"Certainly, recent news has been supportive for risk in three respects: it has shown the U.S. Administration to be pragmatic and keen to de-escalate&#8230; it suggests a lower likely outcome for the average effective tariff rate&#8230; and it has led to a number of growth upgrades," he said.
Rick Gardner, chief investment officer at RGA Investments, said markets are already "pricing in an environment where the U.S. and China are able to trade with each other," even if some economic weakness persists.
"Even if we see a continued economic slowdown, the stock market may have already priced that in during the April selloff," Gardner said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500&#8217;s Top 20 Laggards – Price vs. 200-Day Moving Average</h3>
More than 20 S&amp;P 500 stocks are still trading over 20% below their 200-day moving averages, highlighting substantial technical room for recovery among the index's biggest underperformers during the tariff-relief rally.

Only Half Of S&P 500 Stocks Joined The Tariff-Relief Rally: Time To Buy The Laggards?

Lennar's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.08% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.31 million shares sold short, which is 3.58% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.61 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. stock markets declined this week amid escalating trade tensions and inflation concerns. The S&amp;P 500 fell 2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite decreased by 2.7%, marking one of the worst weeks in recent years.
President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on imported automobiles and parts contributed to market volatility. Automotive stocks were notably impacted; General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) tumbled over 7%, and Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) slid 3.9%. Conversely, electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) edged up 0.4%, as their U.S.-based production is less affected by the tariffs.
Beyond the auto sector, economic indicators added to investor unease. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, rose 0.4% in February, bringing the annual rate to 2.8%, above the Fed's 2% target. Additionally, consumer spending data fell short of expectations, exacerbating fears of economic slowdown amid President Trump's tariff policies.

Homebuilders are sounding the alarm on the state of American consumers, as sales depend on increased incentives and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44465789/kb-home-q1-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-miss-demand-more-muted-than-expected-buyers-responding-favorably-to-value-pivot-and-more">lower home prices</a>. 
What To Know: Lennar Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) and KB Home (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) each reported disappointing first-quarter financial results in the past week. Both companies pointed to slowing "actionable demand" from homebuyers on earnings calls with analysts. 
Lennar Co-CEO Stuart A. Miller listed several factors contributing to the decrease in homebuyers' demand, including limited funds for down payments, high levels of personal debt, and hard-to-achieve income qualifications for mortgages.

"A somewhat confused consumer and wavering consumer confidence have challenged the consumer&#8217;s desire and ability to transact. While there continues to be considerable traffic and customers looking for homes, the urgency to actually transact remains tepid," Miller said on the earnings call.&nbsp;
Miller also raised concerns about new immigration policies and tariffs that could affect the housing industry.&nbsp;
"The housing market has softened as affordability and consumer confidence have limited actionable demand. Incentives have been increasing, and net housing prices seem to be moderating," Miller said, adding that at least housing will not be contributing to current inflationary pressures.&nbsp;
Executives at KB Home gave similar comments on Monday's earnings call after the company lowered its revenue guidance for fiscal 2025 due to softer demand at the start of the spring selling season.
"Consumers are working through affordability concerns and uncertainties related to macroeconomic and geopolitical issues, which are causing them to move slowly in their homebuying decisions," said Jeffrey Mezger, CEO of KB Home.
The company lowered its base prices to align with market conditions and stimulate demand, he explained.
"In mid-February, we took steps to reposition our communities to offer the most compelling value, and buyers responded favorably to these adjustments," Mezger added.
Robert McGibney, COO, added that about half of their communities saw price reductions ranging from $5,000 to $30,000, averaging around $15,000 to $16,000. McGibney noted that Florida was the softest state in terms of sales demand and required more significant pricing adjustments, while less adjustments were needed in the West and Southwest regions.&nbsp;
KBH, LEN Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, both KB Home and Lennar shares are down approximately 30% over the past six months as high home prices and interest rates continue to negatively affect the homebuilders.&nbsp;
