“Certainly, 700 is a very high number. The DNA estimates are considerably lower than anybody ever expected.”
Mark Boyce
“High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.”
Charles F. Kettering
“Although the company lowered guidance, we expect further downside to (analysts) consensus estimates due to lower gross margins.”
Christopher Danely
“The preliminary estimate is lower than what was expected. But I think it's important to look behind the numbers.”
Scott McClellan
“Results missed our estimate of $5.07, reflecting higher operating costs than we expected and lower throughputs than expected.”
Tina Vital
“The miss relative to our estimate was primarily driven by California, where a number of communities we expected to open in the fourth quarter were delayed into 2006.”
Alex Barron
“We are not changing our estimates today, but do expect to have to lower them again after the call -- both for the second and third quarter. Aggressive pricing and weak demand should mean mid-40 percent gross margins by the third quarter.”
