The recognition evaluates firms based on a triad of criteria: internal employee sentiment, multiyear financial health, and transparency in sustainability practices. For KB Home, the inclusion rests on a broad assessment that mirrors its performance in previous 2026 industry roundups. President and CEO Rob McGibney noted that the employee-driven component of the ranking is particularly significant, as it reflects the internal culture of a company that has managed to scale operations across 50 markets over its nearly 70-year history.
KB Home Joins TIME’s 2026 List of Top U.S. Companies
For the Los Angeles-based homebuilder KB Home, the year 2026 is becoming a collection of high-profile accolades. TIME and data firm Statista have named the company to their annual America's Best Companies list, marking another milestone for the builder following recent spots on the publication's 10 Most Influential Design & Build rankings.

Beyond internal morale, the evaluation process scrutinized the builder’s financial trajectory and its environmental footprint. As the housing sector faces shifting economic demands, KB Home’s focus on energy-efficient construction and the delivery of ENERGY STAR certified homes has provided a clear differentiator in its market positioning. The company, which has built more than 700,000 homes since its founding, continues to lean into a model that prioritizes homebuyer personalization and energy-cost reduction to maintain its standing among the country’s largest builders.
