Tuesday, May 21, 6:00 PM After-hours top gainers, as of 5:30 p.m.: SKS +18.1%. DY +12.4%. NSPR +3%. NTAP +2.5%. WIT +2.4%.
After-hours top losers: YY -6.5%. UAN -5.1%. BZH -2.5%. YGE -1.9%. ADI -1.9%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, May 21, 12:21 PM Beazer Homes (BZH -2.9%) slips on a downgrade to Neutral at Sterne Agee. The firm cites headline risk, saying its management is pursuing a strategy of reducing underperforming communities, and the culling will likely result in negative Y/Y community count growth. Order comparisons will likely be -5.0% in F3Q13 versus its current estimate of 20.5% growth. If order estimates prove out, the share price could be pressured from below-average operating comp comparisons. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
Thursday, May 2, 11:13 AM Beazer Homes (BZH +9.6%) gains after its FQ2 top line result beat consensus estimates this morning. Net losses narrowed as revenue jumped and it continued to see improvements all metrics. New orders gained 0.6% to 1,521 homes, while total backlog rose to 2,211 homes with a sales value of $584.2M, compared with 1,975 homes with a sales value of $465M the prior year. Total home closings were up 34%, with cancellation rates down 18.7% from 22.5%. Gross margin rose to 19.1% from 17.5%. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]

[Earnings]
Tuesday, April 16, 11:29 AM Homebuilder stocks aren't taking much encouragement off the bigger number in Housing Starts today, as the underlying data doesn't appear to be strong enough to offset yesterday's drubbing: BZH -0.7%, TMHC -0.2%, HOV -0.2%, DHI +0.9%, KBH +0.5%, PHM +1.6%, LEN +0.9%, TOL +1%. Building materials suppliers on the other hand don't care what kind of homes are being built, and are having a much better day on the news: LII +2.3%, WSO +2%, SHW +3.3%, LPX +3.6%). Comment!
Monday, April 15, 11:44 AM Homebuilders are taking a hit today on the back of weaker-than-expected housing data: XHB -2.7%, KBH -4.7%, TOL -4.5%, DHI -4.3%, PHM -4.1%, HOV -3.7%, LEN -3.2%, BZH -3.3%. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, January 29, 1:31 PM Beazer Homes (BZH +4.9%) moves up today in spite of posting a mixed FQ1 report earlier, beating on its bottom line but coming up slightly short on revenue expectations. Net profit actually swung to a loss as the home builder's year-ago results were boosted by a larger income-tax benefit, though total revenue grew by 31% in the latest period on a 20% jump in total home closings. Cancellation rates also came down to 26.4% from 35.1%, while new orders rose 29% to 932 homes. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Monday, January 28, 4:14 PM Beazer Homes (BZH): FQ1 EPS of -$0.78 beats by $0.22. Revenue of $246.9M (+31% Y/Y) misses by $13M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Friday, January 11, 1:41 PM One homebuilder not benefiting from Merrill's upbeat take on the sector today is Beazer Homes (BZH -1.5%). JPMorgan downgraded the stock to Neutral prior to the open on valuation and concerns over relative order growth. Comment! [On the Move]
Monday, November 12, 2012, 12:45 PM Midday top 10 gainers: TIE +42%. STV +32%. MYRX +18%. CPSS +17%. PZZI +15%. SRPT +13%. EVI +13%. JEF +12%. GILD +12%. CXS +12%. Midday top 10 Losers: CLVS -33%.
