From PulteGroup, Inc.'s Q2 FY26 earnings-call transcript · updated 29 May 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Moderate growth

PulteGroup expects continued strength in its core markets, with ongoing focus on move-up and active adult buyer segments, which constitute 60% of its business.
The company anticipates gradual improvement in build-to-order (BTO) mix, targeting a 60% BTO ratio by early next year, supporting longer-term margin expansion and inventory management.
Starts will be aligned with orders to avoid excess inventory, reflecting disciplined capital allocation and operational efficiency (e.g., pre-COVID cycle times under 100 days).
The firm foresees stable to slightly improved gross margins full-year, aided by easing land prices and declining incentives as spec inventory clears.

Profitability & Margins

PulteGroup delivered strong Q1 2026 earnings of $1.79 per share supported by $3.3 billion in home sale revenues and 24.4% gross margins.
The company expects full-year gross margin in the range of 24.5% to 25%, with potential modest improvement in the second half driven by a higher mix of build-to-order and active adult homes.
Build-to-order homes are targeted to reach 60% of net new orders by early 2027, supporting margin improvement and more normalized free cash flow conversion.
Investments of $5.4 billion are projected for 2026 in land acquisition and development, enabling growth in community count by 3%-5%.

Capital Expenditure Plans

Capex planned

Capital deployment decisions are driven by operational needs such as land acquisition, development, and managing inventory.
Rather, ongoing investments to grow the business organically.
The company balances capital spent on land purchases, homebuilding operations, and inventory management.
Decisions on leverage and capital structure are outcome-driven based on cash needs tied to growth, not target debt levels.
