<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for KB Home has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing KB Home's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, KB Home's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.16%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods: KB Home deliveries grew by a higher-than-expected 17% year-on-year, Rahmani said in a note. "Management noted higher rates and rate volatility impacting homebuyer demand and is offering incentives as a strategy to maintain sales pace," he added.
Although KB Home's orders are expected to be flat year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, "management noted negative double-digit growth thus far but anticipates higher-single-digit growth for the remainder of the period," the analyst stated. The company guided to housing revenue of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion for the first quarter and $7 billion to $7.5 billion for the full year, implying midpoint earnings of $1.58 per share and $8.41 per share, respectively.
RBC Capital Markets: KB home reported orders of 2,688, up 41% year-on-year, beating the Street's expectations of 32% growth, Dahl said. Management guided to a decline in orders by 250 in 2025, which represents a 3% decline, with the pace of declining moderating in the second and third quarters, he added.
Management's margin guidance for the fiscal first quarter "wasn't as bad as feared," the analyst stated. "Net, we view the guide as having risk to both revs and margins given the embedded assumptions of flat incentives/direct cost reductions and lower cycle times/elevated spec mix needed to hit deliveries," he further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of KB Home had risen by 4.17% to $66.75 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
