- Declining operating margins and reduced other income following Q2 results have concerned some analysts, leading to price target reductions.
- The high-interest rate environment is making it harder for LGI Homes to qualify customers, impacting sales performance.
- LGI is facing intense competition in entry-level homebuilding, as evidenced by year-over-year and sequential declines in monthly closings and a lower-than-expected community count, leading to reduced revenue and EPS forecasts.
