Hovnanian Enterprises (HOV) is scheduled to take the earnings stage after Wednesday’s closing bell, with Wall Street anticipating the homebuilder to report a fiscal third-quarter loss of 52 cents per share. This would mark a notable improvement over Hovnanian’s year-ago loss of $2.16 per share, but there’s no guarantee the company can match analysts’ expectations. During the past four quarters, Hovnanian has fallen short of consensus earnings estimates on two occasions.

Accordingly, speculators have been loading up on bearish bets as Hovnanian’s quarterly report approaches. The International Securities Exchange (ISE) reports that traders have bought to open 4.64 puts for every call on HOV during the past 10 days, revealing a strong bias toward pessimistically oriented options.
