UPDATE: Topeka Capital Markets Initiates Lennar at Hold on Valuation

Topeka Capital Markets initiated coverage on Lennar (NYSE: LEN) with a Hold rating and a $33 price target.

We see potential catalysts on the horizon including Lennar's Rialto operations, the California joint venture projects and improving national housing demand, but we view the shares as fairly valued at current levels."
