Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) shares are sinking in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company reported worse-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter. Here&#8217;s a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42564471/lennar-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2024-results">key metrics from the quarter</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q4 Revenue: $9.95 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $10.08 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q4 Adjusted EPS: $4.03, versus estimates of $4.16</li>
</ul>
Lennar said deliveries decreased 7% year-over-year to 22,206 homes. New orders in the period declined 3% to 16,895 homes, below the low end of the company&#8217;s previous guidance of 19,000 homes. The homebuilder had a backlog of 11,633 homes with an estimated value of $5.4 billion at quarter&#8217;s end.
Lennar reported homebuilding operating earnings of $1.5 billion, financial services operating earnings of $154 million and a multifamily operating loss of approximately $200,000. The company ended the quarter with homebuilding cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 billion, and total liquidity of approximately $7.6 billion.
&#8220;In the course of our&nbsp;fourth quarter, the housing market that appeared to be improving as the Fed cut short-term interest rates, proved to be far more challenging as mortgage rates rose almost 100 basis points through the quarter,&#8221; said Stuart Miller, executive chairman and co-CEO of Lennar.
&#8220;Even while demand remained strong, and the chronic supply shortage continued to drive the market, our results were driven by affordability limitations from higher interest rates.&#8221;
Lennar said it repurchased $521 million of its common stock during the quarter.
What&#8217;s Next: Lennar expects first-quarter deliveries of 17,000 to 17,500 homes. The company also guided for full-year 2025 deliveries of 86,000 to 88,000 homes. Lennar expects first-quarter gross margin to be between 19% and 19.25%, down from 22.1% in the fourth quarter.
&#8220;At this time, we will not guide to full-year gross margin until we have a better sense of market conditions as the year unfolds,&#8221; Miller said.
LEN Price Action: Lennar shares were down 7.49% after hours, trading at $135 at the time of publication Wednesday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Leading technology company NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is one of many companies that could be impacted by the future White House administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">under President-elect</a> Donald Trump.
Here's a look back at Nvidia's performance during Trump's last term and the potential gains investors could have realized.
What Happened: Nvidia was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/10/41595302/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-repea"> one of the best performing </a>S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2017, the first year Trump served as president of the United States.
The stock ranked ninth for the year with a +81% return in 2017. From the date of Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2017 to President Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021, Nvidia shares gained more than 400%.
Nvidia was<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41665149/these-10-stocks-were-s-p-500s-top-performers-in-bidens-first-year-could-the-trend-continue-if-h"> also a top performing </a>S&amp;P 500 sock in 2021, the first year of Biden&#8217;s term in office. The stock ranked ninth once again, gaining 125.5% in 2021.
The semiconductor company has been one of the top performers in recent years, joining the $1 trillion market capitalization club <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32630114/nvidia-becomes-ninth-company-to-hit-1-trillion-market-cap-who-could-be-next-to-join-elusive-club">in May 2023 </a>and around a year later becoming the most valuable company in the world.
Nvidia <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41761849/nvidia-blows-past-apple-to-become-worlds-most-valuable-company">passed the milestone </a>of world's most valuable company several times in 2024 and is currently the third most valuable company in the world with a market capitalization of $3.16 trillion, trailing only Apple ($3.76 trillion) and Microsoft ($3.27 trillion).
While the impact of Trump on semiconductors, Taiwan, and the broader tech sector—and by extension, Nvidia&#8217;s share price—remains uncertain, history shows Nvidia tends to outperform in the first year of a new presidential term.

Investing $1,000 in NVDA: Investors who bought and held onto Nvidia shares when Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States would likely be happy with their return.
Nvidia stock traded at a split-adjusted high of $2.67 on Jan. 20, 2017. A $1,000 investment could have purchased 374.53 NVDA shares at the time.
Today, that investment would be worth $48,309.58 based on a $128.97 price for Nvidia at the time of writing. The investment would be up 4,731.0% over the last nearly eight years.
For comparison, the same $1,000 invested in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, would have delivered significantly lower returns.
The $1,000 investment could have bought 4.40 SPY shares, which would be worth $2,594.06 today based on a price of $589.56 for SPY at the time of writing. This investment would be up 159.4% over the same time period.
