He tied pricing flexibility to profitability, saying, "Our industry-leading homebuilding gross margins of 28.9% give us the flexibility to profitably adjust the pricing of our homes to respond to market conditions." CFO Jeffery Cox disclosed a financial reporting issue and upcoming restatement tied to incentives classification: "we concluded that certain closing cost incentives offered to our buyers have been previously incorrectly classified" and said the company "will restate" income statements for 2023-2025 and quarterly 2024-2025 periods. Cox added, "This reclassification of closing cost incentives will not impact any prior periods reported gross profits, operating income, net income, earnings per share, cash flow, debt covenant compliance, shareholders' equity or the strong underlying economics of the company's operations and business," and noted, "Our first quarter 2026 results are not affected by the pending restatement."

$25 Billion: Hegseth Accused Of Lowballing Cost Of Iran War Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has been in a very public spat and back-and-forth with Congressional Democrats over the Trump administration's $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request, as well as over Iran war strategy and mounting costs. Hegseth has turned to some classic wartime fearmongering: "What is it worth to ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon?" - he posed to members of Congress when pressed in a hearing. Hegseth called the "reckless, feckless, and defeatist words of congressional Democrats" the United States' greatest adversary. At a moment Operation Epic Fury is about to reach 60-days on Friday, he's still insisting that this is not a 'forever war' with an open-ended timetable. One figure to come out of the latest Congressional hearings this week is a $25 billion total Iran war price tag thus far : A Pentagon official told the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday that the war in Iran cost the United States $25 billion in the first two months. Facing questions from ranking member Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), Acting Defense Department comptroller Jules Hurst testified that most of the cost was “in munitions” plus “[operations and maintenance] and equipment replacement.” Smith thanked the Pentagon official for offering the most specific cost estimate since its first week, when Hurst said the price tag was roughly $11 billion. “I’m glad you answered that question because we’ve been asking for a hell of a long time and no one has given us the number.” via Reuters However, the $25BN number immediately raised questions among skeptics, both within Congress and among media pundits, over whether this is a lowball number. According to Responsible Statecraft : Rep. Ro Khanna pushed back on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s assertion that the supplemental would only include $25 million for the mission in Iran specifically. “You’re saying $25 billion. If you come back and want to revise those numbers, becaus...

theasis/iStock via Getty Images Over the past year, the persistent valuation gaps in commercial real estate have been a focal point of my coverage on Seeking Alpha. An article published near the beginning of the year sets the stage for today’s discussion on AvalonBay Communities, Inc. ( AVB ). Historically, multifamily has been one of the steadiest asset classes. Supported by tailwinds, including booming population growth and relative housing unaffordability, the multifamily sector has seen a relatively uninterrupted period of growth. That is, until recently. Over the past several years, the situation has largely reversed. A wave of new supply has caused the demand glut, which is compounded by rising costs and shifts in capital costs. The past four years have been a bummer for big multifamily REITs. Data by YCharts These dynamics have collided to cause a massive discrepancy in the valuation of multifamily assets and the valuation of publicly traded REITs that own them. If you want an explanation of this in more detail, refer to my article on valuations . These gaps have now existed long enough to do something about them. I believe AVB is one of the best positions to capitalize. Let’s dig in. REIT Overview Surprisingly, I have never covered AVB on Seeking Alpha. Historically, the company has been one of the most expensive REITs in the multifamily sector, supported by a top-tier portfolio and stable balance sheet. The company’s properties are nice and well managed but expensive. I speak after having rented from AVB in the past. Zooming back, the company fits in the landscape as an owner of coastal multifamily assets in some of the strongest markets. The company owns high-quality assets in high-quality neighborhoods, leased to high-income tenants. At the end of the quarter, the company owned just short of 350 apartment communities with nearly 100,000 units. In the scope of multifamily real estate, the company is one of the more vanilla developers and owners of real est...
