On this episode of Stock Movers:- Lennar (LEN) is edging higher after a miss on the homebuilder’s new orders outlook was tempered by better-than-expected gross margins, which RBC Capital Markets said should reassure investors. Analysts including Mike Dahl say Lennar’s results came in better than feared on gross margin percentage with orders modestly missing, while the guide for a flat quarter-on-quarter gross margin percentage also surprised on the upside. Lennar’s second-quarter adjusted earning per share missed consensus estimates with higher selling, general, and administrative expenses and lower average selling price, but gross margins in-line, write analysts including Matthew Bouley of Barclays.- Sunrun (RUN) shares are sinking in the premarket. It comes as KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Sophie Karp cut the recommendation on Sunrun Inc. to underweight from sector weight.
