Berkshire-Backed Lennar Slides After Weak Q3 Earnings

On Aug. 14, regulatory filings revealed that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) had accumulated an approximately $800 million stake in U.S. homebuilder Lennar (NYSE: LEN). These filings have a lag and show Berkshire’s position as of June 30.

Surely, Berkshire is happy with the construction stock’s performance since then. From June 30 to Sept. 18, Lennar has provided a total return of approximately 21%. This comes as homebuilding stocks have recovered strongly, with the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSEARCA: XHB) rising more than 16% over that period.
