Goldman Sachs upgraded KB Home (NYSE: KBH) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $15.00 (from $10.00).

"We believe current valuation more than captures recent missteps," the analyst said, "The company is on pace to have the highest 2013 order growth in our coverage following a very weak start to 2012. With the stock underperforming our coverage universe by 4,000 basis points over the last 12 months, we believe a material catch up is likely in the next 12 months as order growth shows improvement."
