PulteGroup (PHM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
PulteGroup (PHM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PulteGroup Inc is projected to benefit from stronger-than-expected demand, which is anticipated to positively impact orders, margins, and earnings. The company's active adult segment has shown resilience, contributing approximately 20% of revenues in the second quarter and is expected to normalize to around 24-25% in fiscal year 2026, enhancing gross margins. Additionally, despite challenges in certain regions, notably in the West and Texas, the company is experiencing unexpectedly positive trends in markets like Florida, further supporting its financial outlook.
Bears say
PulteGroup is facing a downturn in demand, as indicated by a consistent decline in orders year-over-year throughout the second quarter and a volatile market in July, prompting a revision of third and fourth-quarter order forecasts to -9%. The anticipated decline in full-year 2026 earnings per share (EPS) by 7% reflects the company's recognition of weakened demand and shifting pricing and incentive trends amid ongoing challenges related to rates and affordability. Overall, the company’s slowed order pace, now projected at a monthly average of 2.3 with a year-over-year decline of 12%, underscores the hurdles it faces in a constricting housing market.
