LEN Latest Report

Performance Review

Based on Lennar's financial data as of February 28, 2025, the total operating revenue reached RMB763,154,500, up 4.36% year-on-year. Despite the growth in operating revenue, net profit decreased by 26.56%. This indicates that while Lennar shows a certain market vitality in operating revenue, the decline in profit may reflect the potential risks of poor cost control or intensified market competition.

Key Data in the Financial Report

1. The total operating revenue was RMB763,154,500, up 4.36% YoY.

2. The sales cost was RMB6,770,494,000, and the gross profit was RMB861,051,000, indicating that Lennar faces certain pressure in cost management.

3. The number of delivered units reached 17,834, up 6%.

4. The number of new orders increased by 1% to 18,355, showing the stability of market demand.

Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: The construction industry may be affected by the rise in interest rates and inflation in early 2025, which may put pressure on overall operating revenue. However, if the overall demand in the industry increases, Lennar may benefit from market opportunities. According to data from the National Association of Realtors, the growth rate of house sales is expected to remain between 5.5% and 6% in 2025, which will support the construction industry.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: If Lennar's total operating revenue can maintain a good growth trend, it indicates strong market competitiveness and the ability to occupy a favorable position in the industry. Compared with other companies in the same industry, if Lennar can effectively control costs, it will show stronger competitive advantages in profits.

Summary

In summary, Lennar's operating revenue has grown, reflecting stable market demand. However, the significant decline in net profit suggests potential cost control issues. Facing the overall pressure in the construction industry, Lennar needs to respond cautiously to market changes to maintain its competitive position and profitability.

Opportunities

1. The recovery of the real estate market may lead to an increase in new orders, which will drive the growth of operating revenue.

2. If Lennar can launch innovative products or services, it may further enhance its market competitiveness.

3. Through optimizing cost control and supply chain management, Lennar has the opportunity to improve its profit level.

Risks

1. The rise in construction material costs may put pressure on the company's gross margin, especially in the context of rising steel and aluminum costs.

2. The rise in interest rates may lead to an increase in housing costs, thus suppressing consumer purchasing intentions and affecting operating revenue.

3. Intensified competition in the industry may make it more difficult for the company to acquire new projects, affecting its future growth potential.
