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.
