What Lennar does
Lennar Corporation is a U.S. homebuilder founded in 1954 and based in Miami, Florida. Its core business is building and selling single-family attached and detached homes, mainly under the Lennar brand. It sells to first-time, move-up, active adult and luxury buyers. Its homebuilding operations are split into four regional segments: East, Central, South Central and West. It also buys, develops and sells residential land. Beyond homebuilding, Lennar runs a Financial Services segment that provides residential mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, and originates commercial mortgage loans that it sells for securitization. Its Multifamily segment develops, builds and manages rental apartment properties, and the company also takes part in fund investment activities. This mix makes Lennar a housing business that covers the land, the homes and the financing needed to buy them.

What is Lennar worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, Lennar's most-likely value is about $127 versus a recent price near $77 (66% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$75) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
