Revenues, meanwhile, rose to $3.26 billion from $2.74 billion, higher than the $2.89 billion analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research expected.

Lennar, the nation’s second largest homebuilder behind D.R. Horton, announced 8,898 home orders at the end of May. Lennar broke ground at the end of April on its 552-home Parkland Bay development in Broward County.
