Goldman Sachs removed PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM) from its Conviction Buy List and cut its price target from $10 to $6. The firm retained a Buy rating.

The firm said the near term path to outperformance is cloudy, due to: (1) recent stock performance has increased the likelihood of a goodwill impairment (goodwill is $1.10/share), (2) flat housing growth limits operating leverage, and (3) we see limited catalysts before 3Q earnings to elicit a re-rating.
