D.R. Horton stock holds near $149 after the homebuilder's July 21, 2026 quarter delivered $3.20 in earnings per share on $9.23 billion of revenue, with shares opening at $149.33 on August 27, 2026.
The latest quarter also topped consensus by $0.18 on EPS and by $130 million on revenue, while the market value cited in same-day trading screens stood at $41.77 billion. That mix leaves investors weighing a modest earnings beat against a slower sales backdrop.
Quarterly numbers still set the tone
Analysts were looking for $3.02 per share and $9.10 billion of revenue for the quarter, so D.R. Horton cleared both marks. The company also posted a 9.15 percent net margin and 12.47 percent return on equity in the same reporting period, underscoring that profitability stayed firm even as the homebuilding cycle cooled.
Sell-side models now point to $10.46 in earnings per share for the current fiscal year, a useful reference point for anyone tracking how far full-year expectations have drifted from the last reported quarter. The comparison matters because the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the guidance discussion now carries more weight than the headline beat alone.
Valuation and peers
At the market open on August 27, 2026, the stock traded at $149.33 with a market cap of $41.77 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.21. A separate market-cap snapshot put the company at $41.74 billion on August 27, 2026, which keeps the valuation picture tightly clustered around the mid-$41 billion range.
That valuation sits close to the peer comparisons cited in recent coverage, where D.R. Horton was described as trading near 13.7 times earnings versus 13.1 times for its immediate peer set and 14.3 times for the broader consumer durables group. For investors, the key question is whether the quarter's $0.18 EPS beat can hold the multiple near current levels.
Homes and communities
D.R. Horton still sells a wide range of new-construction homes across U.S. markets, which keeps community count, pricing power and absorption in the spotlight when quarterly results arrive. That product mix also helps explain why a $9.23 billion quarter can matter even when the market is focused on rates and affordability.
Shares and setup
The stock opened at $149.33 on August 27, 2026, and the market value cited alongside that trade was $41.77 billion. The setup now centers on whether the next quarterly print can follow the same pattern of beating the $3.02 EPS bar and the $9.10 billion revenue mark.
