Lennar purchase reaches USD 212.4 million
The filing-based report said Berkshire bought 2.74 million Lennar shares, including Class A and Class B stock, lifting its disclosed Lennar position to about USD 1.2 billion. The purchase gives the portfolio a larger housing-market exposure while mortgage rates and affordability remain material operating pressures for homebuilders.
The counter-factor is visible in Lennar's latest reported quarter: net earnings fell to USD 284 million from USD 591 million a year earlier, while new orders declined 9 percent to 20,879 homes. The company's gross margin also decreased to 15.8 percent from 17.5 percent, according to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026.
