Lennar Earnings Preview: What to Expect
Valued at a market cap of $29.9 billion, Lennar Corporation (LEN) is a homebuilder headquartered in Miami, Florida. It constructs and sells single-family attached and detached homes across various price points and also provides mortgage financing, title insurance, and closing services, primarily to its homebuyers. It is scheduled to announce its fiscal Q3 earnings for 2025 on Thursday, Sep. 18. Before this event, analysts project this home construction company to report a profit of $2.14 per share, down 45.1% from $3.90 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has surpassed Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in two of the last four quarters, while missing on two other occasions. Its earnings of $1.90 per share in the previous quarter fell short of the consensus estimates by 2.1%.

Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. For the full year, analysts expect LEN to report EPS of $9.04, down 34.8% from $13.86 per share in fiscal 2024. Nonetheless, its EPS is expected to rebound in fiscal 2026 and grow by 8.9% year-over-year to $9.84. LEN has declined 32.7% over the past 52 weeks, considerably underperforming both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 18.3% return and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLY) 24.5% uptick over the same time frame. Lennar delivered mixed Q2 results on Jun. 16, and its shares plunged 4.5% in the following trading session. The company's top-line declined 4.4% year-over-year to $8.4 billion, primarily due to a 6.4% decrease in revenues from home sales, fueled by a lower average sales price of homes delivered. Yet, its revenue figure outpaced the consensus estimates by 1.7%. However, on the earnings front, its adjusted EPS of $1.90 fell by a notable 43.8% from the year-ago quarter, missing analyst estimates by 2.1%. This bottom-line miss might have weighed on investor confidence. Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about LEN's stock, with an overall "Moderate Buy" rating. Among 18 analysts covering the stock, four recommend "Strong Buy," and 14 advise 'Hold.' The mean price target for LEN is $121.50, implying a 5.3% premium from the current levels.

When will my Rite Aid store close? List of pharmacy closure dates amid ongoing prescription transfers
If you've relied on your local Rite Aid pharmacy to fill your prescriptions, you should be aware that nearly all Rite Aid pharmacy locations will be closed by next month. So what happens to your prescriptions? Rite Aid will be transferring them to local third-party pharmacies in your area. Here's where you can find out where Rite Aid pharmacy prescriptions will be transferred to and when most of Rite Aid's remaining pharmacies will be closed. Why are Rite Aid's pharmacies closing? Back in May, the struggling Rite Aid pharmacy chain announced that it had filed for bankruptcy and would cease operations. The chain immediately began winding down its business. As Fast Company previously reported, Rite Aid has announced multiple waves of store closures via court documents dating back to early May. As of June 30, Rite Aid had announced the closures of more than 1,000 locations, nearing the 1,277 number of locations the company said it operated when it originally filed for bankruptcy. While some Rite Aid locations have been acquired by competitors, such as 64 by CVS, most Rite Aid locations will be shuttering for good by the time the company's bankruptcy proceedings wind down later this year. Which Rite Aid pharmacies are still open? Rite Aid has already closed a majority of its stores and pharmacies. According to the company's pharmacy closure list, hundreds of pharmacies have already closed for good. The first pharmacies on the list began shutting their doors on June 2, 2025. But as of today's date (July 28, 2025), the list still shows that more than 150 locations are still open (though over a dozen are expected to permanently shut today). The last store on the list, the Rite Aid Pharmacy at 5627-99 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is listed to be closed on Friday, August 8. However, it should be noted that this list is apparently just referencing the actual pharmacies that are operating in the closing store locations. The non-pharmacy parts of the Rite Aid locations may remain open for longer. Fast Company reached out to Rite Aid for more information on when final store closures are expected. We will update this post if we hear back. Where do I pick up my Rite Aid pharmacy prescriptions now? If you have regular recurring prescriptions at a soon-to-close Rite Aid pharmacy, Rite Aid says that it has taken steps to have your prescriptions automatically transferred to a third-party pharmacy in your area. To find out where your prescriptions have been or will be transferred to, you can use Rite Aid's Pharmacy Closure and Transfer List. To use the tool, enter the zip code of the Rite Aid pharmacy that previously held your prescriptions. The list will then filter to reveal Rite Aid locations in that zip code. Look for the location that matches your Rite Aid pharmacy's address. After its address, you'll see a column that says 'Last Day of Pharmacy Business.' The date in that column tells you when that Rite Aid pharmacy is closing. The columns after that date will show you the 'New Pharmacy Name' of where your prescriptions are being transferred to (a local Walgreens, for example) and the new pharmacy's address and phone number. It may be a good idea to call ahead to the new pharmacy to confirm that they have received your prescription transfer before visiting. You may also be able to work with your new pharmacy and/or doctor's office to have your prescriptions sent to a different pharmacy of your choosing.
