Stock Pulse
D.R. Horton (DHI) is expected to announce lower earnings and revenues in Q2 2025, with projected declines in home closures and homebuilding revenue due to high mortgage rates and economic uncertainty [1]. Analysts predict a year-over-year decline in earnings per share and revenue for the quarter ending March 2025, with downward trending estimates [2]. Despite these challenges, DHI launched a new community in Texas, potentially boosting sales [3], and benefited from a tariff exemption on Canadian lumber, positively impacting its stock price and cost outlook [4], [5]. However, concerns remain about shrinking profit margins in the homebuilding industry, declining net sales orders, and a weakening backlog [6], [8], [9]. While DHI has shown some resilience by maintaining profitability despite market headwinds and focusing on affordability [6], the overall outlook remains cautious due to the projected declines and negative market sentiment [1], [2], [7].
