PulteGroup Inc. (US7458671010) is trading at $128.49, with 260,769 shares changing hands and a market value of $24.48 billion as of August 21, 2026.
The homebuilder reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $4 billion and earnings of $2.48 per share, with EPS beating estimates by 12 cents while revenue came in $4 million below expectations, according to the latest stock summary.
Second-quarter numbers
The quarter, reported on July 22, 2026, gives investors a clean read on execution into late summer. Revenue was up from the prior-year period in the same quarter, and the beat on EPS shows margins and operating leverage are still doing useful work.
That matters because the company sits in a housing market where pricing, mortgage rates and incentives all shape order quality. A result that beats EPS while missing revenue by a narrow amount usually points to mix and cost control rather than top-line strain.
Valuation and trading
The stock's 52-week range runs from $68.80 to $149.47, which leaves the current quote below the prior peak and well above the low. The market cap of $24.48 billion places PulteGroup in large-cap territory.
Compared with the last reported quarter, the shares are pricing in a business that can still convert revenue into profit even when sales land slightly under plan. That is the key comparison for investors: $4 billion of quarterly revenue against $2.48 in EPS, not just one line in isolation.
Go deeper
PulteGroup's homebuilding mix is centered on single-family detached homes for entry-level, move-up and active-adult buyers, alongside mortgage, title and insurance services. That setup gives the company more than one way to capture a housing cycle and helps explain why quarterly earnings can stay resilient when revenue growth is uneven.
