I last looked KBH in Aug when it was trading at USD 54 per share. It has gone down to USD 45 per share today (15 Oct 2023).
In Aug, I had concluded that there was no margin of safety based on its EPV. At the current market price, there is still no margin of safety

- It did poorly on 2 of the financial metrics – cash on hand and Debt Equity ratio.
- It has not been able to achieve a return over the cycle that is greater than the cost of funds.
- It has not been able to deliver the asset efficiency part of its KB Edge strategy. There was no improvement in gross profitability and asset turnover.
