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]
