Beazer Buys Time for Rebound

By Zeke Faux, Bloomberg | Updated on July 18, 2012

Beazer Homes USA Inc., the builder that’s piled up $1.8 billion of losses since the collapse of the U.S. housing market, is buying time until the U.S. economy recovers by replenishing its capital with stock and bond sales.

Beazer sold $300 million of secured debt, raised about $160 million selling stock and hybrid securities and said it would buy back $250 million of bonds last week.
