Rhea AI FOR FY2025 2026-04-23

Forestar’s recent earnings are being absorbed by balance-sheet growth, turning a once cash-generative model into a cash user.

Across FY2024-FY2025, cumulative net income was $371.3M but operating cash flow was -$356.1M; in FY2022-FY2023, those measures moved together instead of apart. That reversal means recent reported profit is being tied up inside the operating asset base rather than returning as cash, which explains why liquidity has fallen even without a dramatic leverage jump.

FY2025 added $153M of revenue, but gross profit rose only $4.2M, which means the extra sales carried a thinner gross spread than the prior year. With gross margin slipping to 21.9% and SG&A climbing to $154.4M, more scale produced less bottom-line efficiency.

The balance sheet still has a meaningful equity base: equity reached $1.77B and debt-to-equity stayed near 0.5x, so recent cash burn has not erased the capital built from prior profitable years. But cash fell from $616M in FY2023 to $379.2M in FY2025, showing that expansion has recently relied more on balance-sheet absorption and some added borrowing than on internally generated cash.

Based on FY2025 annual data, averaged across the last 3 years for performance metrics (most-recent year weighted highest). How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Forestar Group Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Growth

Forestar Group Inc's revenue grew 10.1% year-over-year to $1.7B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 46/100.

Leverage

Forestar Group Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.45, meaning only $0.45 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 93/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Cash Flow

While Forestar Group Inc generated -$197.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $2.2M consumed most of it, leaving -$199.9M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 15/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Forestar Group Inc's ROE of 9.5% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 36/100. This is down from 12.8% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

1/9

Forestar Group Inc passes 1 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

-1.18x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Forestar Group Inc generates $-1.18 in operating cash flow (-$197.7M OCF vs $167.9M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
