Read MoreHide Full Article
Analysts on Wall Street project that Beazer Homes (BZH - Free Report) will announce quarterly earnings of $1.36 per share in its forthcoming report, representing a decline of 24.4% year over year. Revenues are projected to reach $774.29 million, increasing 20% from the same quarter last year.
