Despite operational improvements, weak buyer conversion, negative cash flow, and elevated leverage, limit upside and keep a buy rating unjustified for KBH stock. Current valuation (~14x NTM P/E) already prices in a meaningful earnings recovery, with FY2027 EPS bridge supporting little further upside. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
