KeyBanc downgraded Ryland Homes (NYSE: RYL) from Buy to Hold.

KeyBanc analyst said, "We lowered our rating on The Ryland Group to HOLD on valuation, with the stock trading near 1.4x tangible book, our target multiple. RYL's 13% community growth in 3Q11 helped orders grow 30%; however, we think flat 2012 housing starts limits its valuation upside from here until sustained earnings visibility become more evident."

KeyBanc adjusts FY estimates: 2011E: $(0.65) from $(0.74); 2012E: $0.36 from $0.40; and 2013E: $1.19 from $1.26
