Key Events
Two threads ran through the week. Berkshire Hathaway continued adding to its Lennar position between 28 and 30 September, buying about $136m worth of shares and lifting its stake to 11%. At the same time, mortgage rates moved above 7%, and US homebuilders including Lennar and KB Home warned that housing market conditions have deteriorated. On Friday, a short report from Hunterbrook focused on Millrose transactions, and Lennar shares fell in response, underperforming peers on the day.
The Week Ahead
Monday brings the final US S&P Global services PMI and the ISM non-manufacturing PMI, offering a read on services-sector conditions. Tuesday will bring international trade and goods trade balance figures, followed by EIA crude inventory data on Wednesday. The week’s signal on mortgage rates above 7% leaves the focus on whether upcoming new home sales figures and builder guidance show further pressure.
In Short
Lennar-B Shares is caught between opposing forces this week. Berkshire’s continued buying provides one source of support, while rising mortgage rates and the short report have weighed on sentiment. On valuation, the stock trades at roughly 14.7x earnings and 0.88x book value, with turnover of just 0.07% on the latest session. The capital-flow snapshot shows mixed small and medium-lot activity rather than a clear direction. The weeks ahead will depend on housing data and builder-level commentary on pricing and volumes.
