Third-party reports say investors filed a proposed securities class action against Lennar, CEO Stuart A. Miller, and CFO Diane J. Bessette, alleging false statements and concealment about Lennar’s financial performance and Millrose Properties spin-off. The alleged conduct includes capitalizing costs associated with land-option agreements and having Millrose buy Lennar homes at above-market rates to inflate earnings and mask declining demand; the proposed class covers investors who purchased Lennar shares from February 7, 2025, through October 2, 2026. One report said the alleged misconduct erased more than $1 billion from Lennar’s market value, and investors had until January 11, 2027, to seek lead-plaintiff appointment.
