Rhea-AI Filing Summary

D.R. Horton reported softer fiscal 2026 second-quarter results but stronger order trends and reaffirmed its full-year outlook. Net income attributable to the company was $647.9 million, or $2.24 per diluted share, down from the prior year as revenues edged down to $7.6 billion and pre-tax margin was 11.5%. Net sales orders rose 11% to 24,992 homes with an order value of $9.2 billion, while home sales revenues were $7.0 billion on 19,486 homes closed. For the first six months, net income was $1.2 billion and revenues $14.4 billion, both below last year, though margins benefited modestly from a favorable litigation outcome and lower warranty costs. Book value per share increased 5% to $82.91, debt to total capital was 21.7%, and liquidity totaled $6.0 billion. The company returned $1.0 billion in the quarter via $903.6 million of share repurchases and $129.7 million in dividends and declared a new quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share. Full-year guidance now calls for consolidated revenues of $33.5–$34.5 billion and 86,000–87,500 homes closed, with at least $3.0 billion of operating cash flow, about $2.5 billion of share repurchases and roughly $500 million of dividends.

Insights

Profit is down year over year, but orders, cash flow and capital returns remain solid.

D.R. Horton posted Q2 revenue of $7.6 billion, slightly below last year, while net income attributable to the company fell to $647.9 million and diluted EPS to $2.24. For the first six months, revenue of $14.4 billion and EPS of $4.27 were also below the prior period.

Despite lower earnings, operating metrics show underlying demand holding up. Net sales orders increased 11% in the quarter to 24,992 homes and 7% year-to-date, while the cancellation rate held steady at 16–17%. Book value per share rose 5% to $82.91, and debt to total capital was a moderate 21.7%.

Management guided to full-year revenue of $33.5–$34.5 billion and 86,000–87,500 homes closed, plus at least $3.0 billion in operating cash flow, indicating confidence in the balance of fiscal 2026.

pre-tax profit margin financial
"Consolidated pre-tax income totaled $867.4 million on revenues of $7.6 billion, resulting in a pre-tax profit margin of 11.5%."
Pre-tax profit margin is the share of each dollar of sales a company keeps as profit before paying taxes, expressed as a percentage. Think of it as the slice of a pie left after covering all operating costs but before the tax bill, which helps investors compare how efficiently different companies turn revenue into profit independent of tax rates or one-time tax items.
cancellation rate financial
"The Company’s cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders) for the quarter was 16%, consistent with the prior year quarter."
The cancellation rate is the share of orders, bookings, subscriptions or appointments that are cancelled before they are completed, expressed as a percentage of total commitments. Investors care because a rising cancellation rate is like many diners calling off reservations: it can signal weaker demand, lower predictable revenue, higher costs to replace lost business, and risks to future growth and cash flow forecasts.
return on equity (ROE) financial
"For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's return on equity (ROE) was 13.2% and return on assets (ROA) was 8.9%."
Return on equity (ROE) measures how effectively a company uses its shareholders' money to generate profit. It shows the percentage of profit earned for each dollar invested by shareholders, similar to how a garden’s yield reflects the effort put into planting and tending. Investors use ROE to assess how well a company is managing its resources to create value.
return on inventory (ROI) financial
"The Company’s homebuilding return on inventory (ROI) for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026 was 17.6%."
sales incentives financial
"We expect our sales incentives to remain elevated in fiscal 2026, with incentive levels dependent on demand, mortgage interest rates and other market conditions."
land and lot purchase contracts financial
"Lots controlled through land and lot purchase contracts included approximately 41,000 lots owned or controlled by Forestar."

Net income attributable to D.R. Horton for its second fiscal quarter decreased 20% to $647.9 million, and earnings per diluted share decreased 13% to $2.24. Consolidated pre-tax income totaled $867.4 million on revenues of $7.6 billion, resulting in a pre-tax profit margin of 11.5%. Second quarter consolidated pre-tax profit margin and home sales gross margin both include a 40 basis point benefit from a favorable litigation outcome and lower warranty costs.
Six months ended March 31, 2026
Net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the first six months of fiscal 2026 decreased 25% to $1.2 billion, and earnings per diluted share decreased 18% to $4.27. Consolidated pre-tax income totaled $1.7 billion on revenues of $14.4 billion, resulting in a pre-tax profit margin of 11.5%. Consolidated pre-tax profit margin and home sales gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 2026 both include a 50 basis point benefit from a favorable litigation outcome and lower warranty costs.

Cash provided by operations was $441.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026. Total liquidity at quarter end was $6.0 billion, and the Company's debt to total capital ratio was 21.7%. Debt to total capital ratio consists of notes payable divided by stockholders' equity plus notes payable. The Company has $600 million of homebuilding senior notes maturing in the next twelve months.

For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's return on equity (ROE) was 13.2% and return on assets (ROA) was 8.9%. ROE is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average stockholders' equity, where average stockholders' equity is the sum of ending stockholders' equity balances of the trailing five quarters divided by five. ROA is calculated as net income attributable to D.R. Horton for the trailing twelve months divided by average consolidated assets, where average consolidated assets is the sum of total asset balances for the trailing five quarters divided by five.




David Auld, Executive Chairman, said:
“The D.R. Horton team delivered a solid second quarter, highlighted by a pre-tax profit margin of 11.5%, above the high end of our guidance range. Consistent with our balanced approach to capital allocation and strong cash flow generation, we returned $1.0 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during the quarter.

“Affordability constraints and cautious consumer sentiment continue to impact new home demand; however, our tenured operators executed with discipline, driving an 11% year‑over‑year increase in net sales orders, while reducing unsold completed homes by 35% from a year ago. We expect our sales incentives to remain elevated in fiscal 2026, with incentive levels dependent on demand, mortgage interest rates and other market conditions. Based on our performance year to date, we remain on track to deliver results within our original fiscal 2026 guidance.

“Our strong liquidity, low leverage, national scale, affordable product offerings and controlled lot supply provide significant financial and operational flexibility. We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and are well-positioned to deliver value to our homebuyers while enhancing long-term value for our shareholders."

Homebuilding
Three months ended March 31, 2026
Homebuilding revenue for the second quarter decreased 2% to $7.1 billion, and homes closed increased 1% to 19,486 homes. Homebuilding pre-tax income decreased 19% to $757.9 million, and pre-tax profit margin was 10.7%. Net sales orders increased 11% to 24,992 homes with an order value of $9.2 billion. The Company’s cancellation rate (cancelled sales orders divided by gross sales orders) for the quarter was 16%, consistent with the prior year quarter.

Six months ended March 31, 2026
Homebuilding revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2026 decreased 5% to $13.6 billion, and homes closed decreased 3% to 37,304 homes.

The cancellation rate for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was 17%, consistent with the prior year period.

At quarter end, the Company had 38,200 homes in inventory, of which 22,900 were unsold. 5,500 of the Company’s unsold homes were completed, including 800 that had been completed for greater than six months. Of the Company’s homes closed during the six months ended March 31, 2026, 67% were on lots developed by Forestar or third parties, up from 65% during the prior year period.

The Company’s homebuilding return on inventory (ROI) for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026 was 17.6%.
