1. Revenue and income
Dream Finders Homes reported third-quarter homebuilding revenue of $942 million, up 3% year over year, driven by higher home closings and strategic lot sales. Net income was $7 million, below the $19.5 million consensus estimate cited in the report, with $23 million in Beazer acquisition costs impacting results.
2. Outlook and costs
The company maintained its 2026 guidance of about 9,250 home closings. It expects additional nonrecurring transaction and integration costs in the fourth quarter from the Beazer acquisition, as well as deal abandonment charges as it optimizes its land portfolio.

Dream Finders Homes attributed lower homebuilding gross margin to higher land and financing costs, partially offset by cost reductions and cycle-time improvements. Management said rising mortgage rates strained affordability and weighed on consumer confidence.
