KB HOME NAMED TO FORTUNE'S WORLD'S MOST ADMIRED COMPANIES LIST FOR 10TH TIME

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., has been named to Fortune's 2026 list of World's Most Admired Companies. The annual ranking, compiled by Fortune in partnership with Korn Ferry, is based on an independent survey of thousands of senior executives, directors and analysts who evaluate companies on reputation and performance.

This marks the 10th time that KB Home has been named to the list. The company scored above industry benchmarks across several key categories, including innovation, use of corporate assets, financial soundness, quality of products and social responsibility, underscoring its long-standing leadership within the homebuilding industry, particularly its focus on delivering personalized, affordably priced homes.

"Being recognized by Fortune as one of the World's Most Admired Companies for the 10th time reflects the consistency of our strategy and the trust we've earned from customers, partners and the communities we serve," said Jeffrey Mezger, KB Home's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This honor is a testament to our teams' focus on helping families achieve the dream of homeownership while operating with discipline and purpose. We continue to invest in innovation, sustainability and a culture that embeds the customer at the center of every decision."

Fortune collaborated with partner Korn Ferry on this corporate reputation survey, which evaluates approximately 1,500 companies, including the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue and non-U.S. companies in the Fortune Global 500 database with revenues of $10 billion or more. Korn Ferry surveyed 685 companies from 29 countries to select the largest in each industry. To determine the best-regarded companies, Korn Ferry asked executives, directors and analysts to rate enterprises in their own industry on criteria from investment value and quality of management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract talent. A company's score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
