PulteGroup (PHM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PulteGroup Inc. exhibits a positive outlook due to anticipated stronger-than-expected demand, which is expected to positively affect orders, margins, and overall earnings. The company's performance in the active adult segment, contributing approximately 20% of revenues in the second quarter and projected to normalize back to 24-25% by fiscal year 2026, is expected to further enhance gross margin percentages. Additionally, while there are challenges noted in regions like West Texas, better-than-expected trends in the Florida market provide a supportive backdrop for future growth.
Bears say
PulteGroup Inc has experienced a consistent decline in orders, with a year-over-year decrease noted across each month of the second quarter, resulting in revised forecasts that project a further 9% decline in orders for the third and fourth quarters. The company's full-year 2026 earnings per share (EPS) expectations have also been adjusted downward by 7% in light of weaker demand and adverse pricing trends, reflecting broader challenges associated with affordability and mortgage rates. Overall, the company's outlook remains negative as it grapples with persistently volatile market conditions impacting both sales and profitability.
