BOISE, Idaho, February 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., today announced the grand opening of Meadows and Heritage at Cherry Grove, two new communities in a prime Nampa, Idaho location. The new homes are designed for the way people live today, with popular features like modern kitchens overlooking large great rooms, bedroom suites with walk-in closets and ample storage. The one- and two-story homes at Cherry Grove offer up to five bedrooms and three baths. Homeowners will appreciate the communities' beautiful mountain views, proximity to local schools and planned on-site amenities, which include a children's splash pad, parks and walking paths.
What sets KB Home apart is the company's focus on building strong, personal relationships with every customer, so they have a real partner in the homebuying process. Every KB home is uniquely built for each customer, so no two KB homes are the same. Homebuyers have the ability to personalize their new home, from floor plans to exterior styles to where they live in the community. Their home comes to life in the KB Home Design Studio, a one-of-a-kind experience where customers get both expert advice and the opportunity to select from a wide range of design choices that fit their style and their budget. Reflecting the company's commitment to creating an exceptional homebuying experience, KB Home is the #1 customer-ranked national homebuilder based on homebuyer satisfaction surveys from a leading third-party review site.
"We are pleased to offer Boise-area homebuyers spacious new homes in a prime Nampa location," said Stan Katanic, President of KB Home's Boise division. "Meadows and Heritage at Cherry Grove are close to local schools and offer stunning mountain views and planned on-site amenities, including a children's splash pad, parks and walking paths. At KB Home, we're here to help you achieve your dream with a personalized new home built uniquely for you and your life."
Innovative design plays an essential role in every home KB builds. The company's floor plans inspire contemporary living, with a focus on roomy, light-filled spaces that have easy indoor/outdoor flow. KB homes are engineered to be highly energy and water efficient and include features that support healthier indoor environments. They are also designed to be ENERGY STAR® certified — a standard that fewer than 12% of new homes nationwide meet — offering greater comfort, well-being and utility cost savings than new homes without certification.
Meadows and Heritage at Cherry Grove are situated in a commuter-friendly location that offers homebuyers an exceptional lifestyle. The new communities are located at the corner of North Franklin Boulevard and Elm Lane, close to Interstate 84, Highway 20 and Highway 26, providing easy access to downtown Boise, the area's major employment centers and Boise Airport.

5 Cybersecurity Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade
Breaches have become too costly for companies not to invest in top-tier protection. Cybersecurity comes in several flavors, offering a range of choices for investors. The five stocks below offer broad industry exposure -- and should thrive over time. 10 stocks we like better than Palo Alto Networks › Security has become mission-critical to companies in an increasingly digital and technology-driven world. The consequences of failure are costly. An annual report by International Business Machines estimates that the typical breach can cost companies $4.9 million in damages. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that cybersecurity is a hot topic in the stock market. Research from Roots Analysis estimates that the global cybersecurity market will grow from $215 billion last year to $697 billion by 2035, representing an 11.3% annualized growth rate over the next decade. But don't look to the antivirus programs your parents used on their computers in the late 1990s. Today, a new crop of next-generation security companies is taking over the field. Here are five cybersecurity stocks to consider buying and holding for the next decade. A highly connected world creates security vulnerabilities. That's where Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) comes in. The company specializes in firewall technology, which acts like a security guard on a network, monitoring what is trying to get in, and stopping suspicious actors. The company has expanded into cloud security and integrated artificial intelligence (AI), a common theme on this list, to improve its protection. It is one of the largest dedicated cybersecurity companies and is driving growth by transitioning its business model from selling specific solutions tailored to individual customer needs to a platform strategy. Analysts estimate that Palo Alto Networks will continue to grow its earnings by an average of 20% annually over the long term, as spending across the broader security market increases. It's hard to discuss cutting-edge security without including CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD). The company has garnered recognition for its endpoint security, which protects connected devices (endpoints) in a network, such as laptops or smart devices. It has expanded to become a comprehensive security platform with enhanced capabilities, sold to customers as product modules. Cross-selling has driven staggering growth for CrowdStrike. Today, nearly a quarter of its customers use at least eight product modules. And with just $4.4 billion in annual recurring revenue, there is still ample room for growth. The company's success has fetched a lofty price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of 28, but it could be worth nibbling on and adding more aggressively on dips. CrowdStrike is on its way to becoming a substantial business. The internet runs on massive content delivery networks (CDN), and Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) is one of the largest. Beyond powering the internet, it helps secure it by mitigating distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) threats, a type of cyberattack where malicious traffic floods a site, slowing it or crashing it altogether. The company has over 250,000 paying customers, and its network is a great distribution tool for products and services. Its global CDN coverage also makes it a player in edge computing, where companies bring computing resources out of centralized cloud centers to localized locations to improve performance and speed. Think upcoming opportunities like autonomous vehicles and robotics, where secure, fast connections will be crucial for the technology to work at scale. Security technology often flags potential threats that a human analyst then reviews and assesses. SentinelOne (NYSE: S) uses AI to detect and deter cyberthreats autonomously. As a direct competitor to CrowdStrike, it also specializes in endpoint security and has received praise for its high-level technology capabilities. SentinelOne is smaller than its archrival and isn't yet profitable. However, it benefits from the same big-picture growth trends as the others on this list, and its P/S of 6.7 makes it arguably the bargain among this group. Sometimes, you don't need to be the biggest to be successful. The stock could have tremendous long-term upside from here. Cybersecurity isn't among the things investors associate with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), but make no mistake, the technology giant is a colossal presence in the industry. It builds security products and services into its Windows operating software, protecting millions of Windows computers and devices worldwide. Microsoft is involved with various technology end markets, so this is far more than a cybersecurity investment. The company's exposure to AI, cloud computing, and enterprise software -- as well as Windows and Microsoft 365 productivity software -- makes it a well-rounded bet on the broader technology sector. That's worth holding as an anchor for a growth-focused portfolio. Before you buy stock in Palo Alto Networks, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Palo Alto Networks wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $660,341!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $874,192!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 999% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 173% for the S&P 500.

Liberty Energy's (NYSE:LBRT) investors will be pleased with their impressive 110% return over the last five years
It hasn't been the best quarter for Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE:LBRT) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 11% in that time. But that doesn't change the fact that shareholders have received really good returns over the last five years. In fact, the share price is 101% higher today. To some, the recent pullback wouldn't be surprising after such a fast rise. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap now. Unfortunately not all shareholders will have held it for the long term, so spare a thought for those caught in the 44% decline over the last twelve months. With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. During the last half decade, Liberty Energy became profitable. Sometimes, the start of profitability is a major inflection point that can signal fast earnings growth to come, which in turn justifies very strong share price gains. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here.. As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. As it happens, Liberty Energy's TSR for the last 5 years was 110%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! Liberty Energy shareholders are down 43% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 14%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 16%, each year, over five years. If the fundamental data continues to indicate long term sustainable growth, the current sell-off could be an opportunity worth considering. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Liberty Energy better, we need to consider many other factors. Even so, be aware that Liberty Energy is showing 4 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those is concerning... But note: Liberty Energy may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).
