The revenue decline, margin compression, and moderated full-year delivery guidance confirm a worsening demand environment. Watch the housing-start and mortgage-rate data for signs of stabilization. The heavy share repurchase may provide some support, but deteriorating fundamentals argue for caution on LEN common equity.
