KB Home reported first-quarter results for the three months ended February 28, 2025, with revenues down 5% to $1.39 billion and diluted earnings per share down 15% to $1.49. The company reduced its 2025 revenue guidance, citing lower net orders in the first quarter, and named Robert R. Dillard as executive vice president and chief financial officer effective March 31, 2025. For shareholders, the decline in sales and profit and the cut to guidance are the main points, while the CFO appointment changes the company's finance leadership.
Revenues of $1.39 billion, down 5%; net income of $109.6 million, down 21%; diluted EPS of $1.49, down 15%.

Scholastic reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $335.4 million, up 4%, and an operating loss of $23.9 million, narrower than the $34.9 million loss a year earlier. The company now expects full-year Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $140 million, the low end of its prior $140 million to $150 million range, and modest revenue growth instead of the prior 4% to 6%. It also raised its share repurchase authorization to $100 million, which matters to shareholders because the profit outlook was lowered while buybacks were expanded.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
