Stuart Miller, executive chairman of Lennar, had this to say about the LEN stock earnings report:
“With a near shutdown of large portions of our national economy, we are all stretching our minds to understand the parameters of the rapidly evolving landscape, while we contemplate what the future holds. Accordingly, our first quarter conference call this morning will be focused on Lennar’s oversight and management through the current crisis, and the steady-handed approach that we have applied.”
The Lennar earnings report doesn’t include a guidance for fiscal 2020. This is due to the company suspending its guidance because of the ongoing effects that the coronavirus from China is having on the U.S. economy.
LEN stock was up about 2% as of Thursday afternoon.
As of this writing, William White did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
