One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. It's clear from the latest estimates that KB Home's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 8.0% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2023 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 6.2% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 1.0% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect KB Home to grow faster than the wider industry.
