“Options Corner: KBH Just Above 52-Week Low Floor into Earnings”
KB Home faces a bearish outlook due to high interest rates and a downward technical trend leading into earnings.
Yes, KB Home is known for building homes for first-time buyers, a type of home that is built to order. But we can see KPH’s remarkably poor performance here in red, down 23.3% against XHP’s Homebuilding Index Fund, which is down 12.8% against S&P’s 16%.
This stock is included in the XLY Consumer Discretionary Fund, which is not its best benchmark, although it is a very broad category.
