PulteGroup (PHM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PulteGroup Inc's positive outlook is primarily driven by anticipated stronger-than-expected demand, which is expected to enhance orders, margins, and overall earnings. The company's performance in the active adult segment has shown resilience, contributing approximately 20% of revenues in the second quarter, with projections indicating a normalization to around 24-25% by fiscal year 2026 that could further improve gross margins. Additionally, emerging trends in Florida and the expected rebound from challenges in other regions signal a favorable operating environment for the homebuilder.
Bears say
PulteGroup is experiencing a significant downturn in order volumes, with revised projections indicating a decline of 9% year-over-year for both the third and fourth quarters, reflecting a broader trend of decreasing orders across the second quarter. Additionally, the company's projected earnings per share (EPS) for fiscal year 2026 is anticipated to decline by 7%, driven by weakened demand and adverse pricing and incentive conditions amid ongoing challenges related to interest rates and affordability. Overall, the homebuilder's outlook remains concerning due to these persistent headwinds affecting its financial performance and demand dynamics.
