Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Discretionary is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
The reason to own it still holds.

View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 2% a day.
View RiskKBH’s home-delivery and revenue growth supports the thesis, despite fragile earnings quality. Revenue growth slowed to 20% year over year in Q3 FY2026 from 27% in Q2. Q3 GAAP EPS beat consensus, reaching $1.05 against $0.88. KBH trades at 13× P/E versus the 15× peer median. The price reflects less growth than our forecast, making that peer gap notable. Fragile cash backing leaves reported profits less reliable. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability near 24%. Peer multiples imply a price about 10% above where it trades; our read remains intact. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-29. KBH is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
