Hovnanian Enterprises has been facing financial challenges, with a decline in revenue and net income during the second quarter of its 2025 fiscal year.

Despite these challenges, Hovnanian Enterprises has made progress in reducing leverage.

The company has adopted an asset-light approach, controlling more lots through options, which has allowed it to grow its supply of lots from 29,123 to 42,440 as of the end of the second quarter of 2025 [1].
