PulteGroup stock falls 2.93 percent after quarterly figures

PulteGroup stock fell 2.93 percent to USD 118.71 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, placing the homebuilder 17.84 percent below its 52-week high of USD 144.50. The latest quarterly figures show earnings resilience alongside weaker revenue.

EPS beats the consensus

PulteGroup reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.48 for the second quarter of 2026, exceeding the USD 2.36 consensus by USD 0.12, according to MarketBeat.

The result was below the prior-year quarter's USD 3.03 EPS, while the comparison source reported a 9.6 percent year-over-year revenue decline. Revenue still reached USD 3.98 billion, above the USD 3.94 billion consensus, according to MarketBeat.

Revenue pressure meets cash returns

The earnings mix matters because PulteGroup's second-quarter operating profit reached USD 614.56 million, up from USD 441.77 million in the first quarter of 2026. Net income also rose from USD 346.995 million to USD 472.003 million across those two quarters.

Shareholder distributions provide a separate support point. PulteGroup announced a quarterly dividend of USD 0.26 per share payable October 2, 2026, after a September 15 record date, according to PulteGroup.

Stock remains below its yearly peak

At USD 118.71 on September 23, 2026, PulteGroup stock stood USD 25.79 below the 52-week high of USD 144.50 and USD 10.22 above the 52-week low of USD 108.49. The market capitalization was USD 22,912,311,712 as of September 24, 2026.

The combination of lower year-over-year revenue and above-consensus quarterly EPS leaves execution and demand trends as the key measures for the next report.
