-Drew Reading, Bloomberg Intelligence U.S Homebuilding Analyst, recaps Lennar earnings. Builder Lennar Corp.’s forecast for quarterly home orders missed analysts’ estimates as affordability pressures and the weakening job market pushes buyers to the sidelines. The company projected 18,000 to 19,000 signed contracts for its fiscal first quarter, according to a statement Tuesday. Analysts expected 20,297, the average in a survey compiled by Bloomberg.

-Jonathan Palmer, Senior Equity Research Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, discusses Medline’s IPO. Medline raised $6.26 billion in the year’s biggest initial public offering, upsizing the deal and pricing the shares near the top of the marketed range. The company sold 216 million shares for $29 each, giving it a market value of about $39 billion based on the number of shares listed in its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
