Summary
KB Home reported a significant 23% year-over-year decline in homes delivered for the second quarter.

The news follows the company's Q1 report in April, which showed a 69% drop in net income and lowered full-year guidance, indicating a persistent negative trend. This substantial drop in deliveries will directly impact the company's Q2 revenue and profitability.
