Beazer Homes stock (ISIN US07556Q8814) closed at USD 33.37 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, down USD 0.03 or 0.09 percent from the prior close. The key date is October 20, 2026, when the company has scheduled a conditional redemption of USD 350.0 million in senior notes alongside the planned merger with Dream Finders Homes, as reported in a SEC filing dated September 28, 2026.

Merger funding controls the debt payment

The 7.250 percent senior notes due 2029 would be redeemed at 101.208 percent of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. The payment depends on substantially concurrent completion of the merger, receipt of sufficient funds and satisfaction or waiver of the merger condition, according to the Investing.com report published September 28, 2026.

The proposed transaction would give Beazer shareholders USD 33.50 in cash per share, leaving the October 20 deadline as the central event for the stock. The spread between the October 5 close and the proposed cash consideration is USD 0.13 per share, or 0.39 percent of the offer price.
