NEGATIVE IMPACT
Lennar Corporation reported better than expected Q3 earnings and sales, with new orders up 37%. However, the company's unit backlog is down 18% YoY, and its shares are down 3.62%.
Despite beating Q3 earnings and sales estimates, Lennar's shares are down, likely due to the 18% YoY decrease in the company's unit backlog. This could indicate a potential slowdown in future sales, which may have negatively impacted investor sentiment.
