D.R. Horton retains UBS’s Buy rating despite its stock’s 11.6% slide—the longest losing streak since 2024. The builder forecasts Q1 EPS of $2.18 (down 15.5%) and $7.7 billion revenue (down 0.47%) and acquired 92 lots near Houston for homes starting at $235,000.
1. UBS Rating and Stock Performance
D.R. Horton retains UBS’s Buy rating while its shares have declined 11.6%, marking the longest losing streak since 2024. The stock closed at $145.28 and slipped 1.63% that session, underperforming the S&P 500’s 0.21% drop, and is down 3.79% over the past month.
2. Upcoming Earnings Forecast
Investors expect Q1 EPS of $2.18, a 15.5% year-over-year decrease, and revenue of $7.7 billion, a 0.47% decline. The company will report results on April 21, 2026, and these figures could reflect slower demand in the residential construction market.
3. Houston Lot Acquisition
D.R. Horton acquired 92 fully developed lots from Windy Hill Development in the Indian Springs community near Houston and plans to build homes starting at $235,000. This purchase boosts its land inventory in a growing region following a nearby sale of 115 lots to a competitor.
