LEN AH ~−3% / profit halves: Q3 EPS $1.19 miss — call 11:00 ET into rates tape

[LondonNewsTrader]

Homebuilder print into a post-hike mortgage tape — not a soft-landing proxy.

Reuters/PR: Lennar Q3 net earnings ~$284M / $1.19 diluted EPS vs ~$591M / $2.29 a year ago; adjusted ~$1.23 after tech MTM and one-time Financial Services items. Revenue ~$8.05B with deliveries and margins under pressure as mortgage rates near ~7% weighed on buyers. Shares slipped ~2% into the close and ~3% after hours. Call today 11:00 a.m. ET (investors.lennar.com).

Scalper read: this is rate-sensitive single-name liquidity after the Fed move — watch whether the open is a one-print flush or a housing-complex de-rate (builders/lenders). Don’t invent a “bottom in starts” thesis from one AH miss; size vs. the call window, not the headline alone.
