Analyst price targets and ratings are FMP consensus figures as of Sep 23, 2026; other aggregators may differ. High and low targets show the range of estimates, not forecasts.
Lennar reported Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings that missed consensus on both EPS ($1.19–$1.23 vs. $1.29 expected) and revenue ($8.05B vs. $8.31B expected), while slashing full-year delivery guidance to 80,000–81,000 homes from 82,000–83,000 (SeekingAlpha, Yahoo Finance). The miss and downward revision triggered analyst downgrades, including Royal Bank of Canada cutting its price target to $69, driving LEN down 4.52% to $76.10 intraday and to fresh 52-week lows as part of a multi-day selloff.
Lennar reversed early weakness following disappointing Q3 results released Wednesday after market close. The stock fell in premarket Thursday but recovered to trade +1.12% by midday, reaching $79.23, as elevated volume (3.30x average for the time) suggests institutional accumulation despite the company's cyclical headwinds and 52-week lows cited by Seeking Alpha.
