Number-one U.S. luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers (TOL) posted a $0.61/share loss, exceeding the -$0.44 expected by analysts. The loss included a $245M writedown, net of which Toll earned $0.35/share. Net contracts signed fell 50% to $375M; backlog fell 42% to $2.4B.
CEO Robert Toll was again critical of the media's relentless 'drumbeat' recession talk, which he said dampens consumers' moods and keeps them from buying. Toll said selling remains weak, but that it sees a few "glimmers of hope."
