Current thesis
HOV exited the quarter with $442.0 million of liquidity, 14.3% adjusted gross margin above guidance, and adjusted EBITDA above guidance. Management also said it expects a step-up in Q4 if current conditions hold, so the bull case is that newer communities and a land-light mix drive a stronger second-half earnings bridge [#8-K-2026-05-21].
