Ticonderoga maintains a 'Buy' on Ryland Homes (NYSE: RYL), PT $19.50.

Ticonderoga analyst says, "When we upgraded this equity on March 15th, we saw a story that had finally started playing offense instead of defense and traded at an attractive valuation in absolute and relative terms. Today, the world looks rockier not only for RYL but all builders as the spring selling season has sputtered. RYL’s turn now appears to be pushed out another quarter or so as lack of volumes weighs on the results. However, we see nothing that conflicts with our original thesis, which highlighted management’s execution of community growth and cost reduction. In other words, we are still attracted to RYL’s equity for the same reasons as before. We believe investors should buy the equity on any pullback that may occur."

"Our EPS estimates are for a loss of $0.40 in 2011, and earnings of $0.82 in 2012. Our prior estimates were a positive $0.09 and $0.96, respectively."
