By Paul Ausick Published

Last month homebuilder KB Home (NYSE: KBH) launched a tender offer to redeem notes due in 2014 and 2015, saying it would accept up to $100 million in requests to buy back the 2014 notes. To date, the company has received valid tenders totalling $56.3 million for the 2014 and total tenders valued at $423.8 million.

To pay for the redemptions, KB is today launching a $250 million debt offering to pay for the claims.

Somehow, KB shares are up nearly 3% this morning at $9.28 in a 52-week range of $5.02-$15.30. Hope springs eternal, but it’s not a strategy.
