Horton delivered a mixed fiscal fourth quarter, beating revenue expectations while falling short on the bottom line, as persistent affordability headwinds weighed on profitability across its core homebuilding operations. The nation's largest homebuilder posted diluted EPS of $3.04, missing the $3.29 consensus estimate by 7.60%, while revenue of $9.68 billion edged 2.50% above expectations but still marked a 3.3% decline from a year ago. The earnings shortfall traced directly to elevated sales incentives the company deployed to sustain order volumes in a higher-rate environment, compressing pre-tax profit margins to 12.4% from 17.1% in the prior-year quarter. Net income fell 29% year-over-year to $905.30 million. On a more constructive note, net sales orders rose 5% to 20,078 homes, and the company raised its quarterly dividend 13% to $0.45 per share. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal 2026 revenues of $33.50 billion to $35.00 billion, with incentives expected to remain elevated depending on market conditions, even as notable investors signal longer-term confidence in U.S. Housing fundamentals.
Key Takeaways
- • Net sales orders increased 5% to 20,078 homes in Q4
- • 65% of homes closed in fiscal 2025 were on lots developed by Forestar or third parties, up from 63%

- • Approximately 43,000 first-time homebuyers served in fiscal 2025
- • Homebuilding return on inventory of 20.1% for fiscal 2025

“The D.R. Horton team completed our 24th consecutive year as America's largest builder by volume, and we are proud to have provided homeownership to nearly 85,000 individuals and families during fiscal 2025, including approximately 43,000 first-time homebuyers. Consolidated pre-tax income for the year totaled $4.7 billion on $34.3 billion of revenues, resulting in a pre-tax profit margin of 13.8%. We generated $3.4 billion of cash from operations in fiscal 2025 and leveraged our strong financial position to return $4.8 billion to shareholders through repurchases and dividends.”
