7 Housing Stocks to Buy as Mortgage Rates Dip - 3 of 7

 
 

#3 - KB Home (NYSE:KBH)

Another homebuilder stock to consider as mortgage rates decline is KB Home (NYSE: KBH). The company is the sixth-largest homebuilder in the United States and operates in four major markets broadly listed as West Coast, Southwest, Central, and Southeast. Its Built-to-Order approach enables a more personalized experience, which provides a competitive advantage and higher revenues.  

As of August 12, 2024, KBH stock is trading near its 52-week high with a consensus rating of Hold. That could lead investors to believe the growth is priced in. In the company’s second-quarter earnings report in June, it beat on the top and bottom lines, but revenue came in lighter YOY. That initially dragged KBH stock down about 5%, but the stock has since rallied and is up more than 14% in the three months ending April 12, 2024.  

The KB Home analysts tracked by MarketBeat are forecasting a higher price target for KBH stock, with Evercore being the most bullish with an $89 price target.
