PulteGroup (PHM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
PulteGroup (PHM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PulteGroup Inc. exhibits a positive outlook due to stronger-than-expected demand, which is anticipated to enhance orders, profit margins, and overall earnings. The company's active adult segment, which contributed approximately 20% of revenues in the second quarter, is expected to normalize to about 24-25% in fiscal year 2026, further supporting gross margins. Additionally, despite facing challenges in specific markets such as the West and Texas, PulteGroup has experienced unexpectedly favorable trends in Florida, contributing to its robust financial position.
Bears say
PulteGroup is facing a challenging outlook, as order volumes have declined year-over-year (y/y) for each month in the second quarter and are projected to further decrease by 9% in both the third and fourth quarters. The company's financial forecast indicates a 7% decline in full-year 2026 earnings per share (EPS), attributed to weakening demand and adverse pricing and incentive trends amid an ongoing affordability issue influenced by interest rates. Additionally, the pace of new orders has fallen significantly, tracking at -12% y/y, underscoring the persistent challenges in the homebuilding market.
