October 10, 2009: D R Horton (DHI) Hitting A 'Home' Run

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:02:03 GMT

Recently, I visited a large D R Horton community near Calabash, North Carolina. I took a seasoned local contractor acquaintance with me for company, comments and to catch up on the local gossip. As we all know, home builders for the most part have been slow to adjust to the new economy of change and at the lower end of the new home price point spectrum, even slower to produce a 21st century residence which includes the energy saving expectations and and construction applications at a less than rip-off price to unsuspecting entry-level homebuyer.[More...]

Housing Bouncing Along Bottom

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:36:22 GMT

We are seeing more signs that the housing industry is bouncing along a bottom. Housing starts declined 1% to an annualized pace of 581,000 last month. Building permits fell 1.8% to an annualized pace of 560,000. Conversely, Home Depot (HD) raised its full-year earnings guidance. The numbers follow a survey showing increased optimism on the part of builders. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index reached 18 last month, its highest level since June 2008. Behind the numbers are some cross-currents that often occur as a sector tries to find its legs. Though housing starts fell, the drop reflected fewer multi-home units being built. Single-family starts were actually up slightly last month. On the other hand,[More...]

DR Horton Still Fights Weakness

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:52:01 GMT

DR Horton Inc. (DHI) reported a net loss of 45 cents per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 27 cents per share. However, the net loss reported in the quarter was smaller than the loss of $1.26 reported in the same period a year ago. The year-over-year earnings improvement was driven by higher gross margin on home sales and a lower charge taken for inventory impairments and land option cost write-offs. The company reported home sales gross profit margin of 11.3%, a 120 basis point increase from the 10.1% reported a year ago. Quarterly homebuilding revenue was $914.1 million on 4,240 homes closed, compared to approximately $1.4 billion on 6,167 homes closed in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2008. Land and lot sales totaled $17.5 million, compared to $18.3[More...]

Homebuilders rally before falling with market

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:52:00 GMT

NEW YORK - Shares of homebuilders jumped Tuesday after a gauge of future U.S. home sales rose more than expected to the highest level in over two years but were later pulled down with the broader market on concerns about the overall economy.
The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday its seasonally adjusted index of sales contracts signed in July for previously occupied homes rose 3.2 percent to 97.6.
Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected the index to edge up to only 96.5.
