PulteGroup stock (ISIN US7458671010) rose 1.41 percent to USD 119.85 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026. Yahoo Finance also listed an Evercore ISI Group target reduction from USD 162.00 to USD 154.00 on that date, while keeping an Outperform rating.

Second-quarter earnings beat estimates

PulteGroup reported USD 3.98 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue and USD 2.48 in earnings per share, according to MarketBeat. EPS exceeded the USD 2.36 consensus by USD 0.12, while revenue declined 9.60 percent from the same quarter of 2025.

The earnings mix gives investors two different signals. Profit per share beat expectations, but the revenue comparison shows that demand and pricing conditions remain important to the homebuilder's next results.

Analyst targets remain above the stock

Evercore ISI Group lowered its price target to USD 154.00 from USD 162.00 on September 25, 2026, while maintaining Outperform, as Yahoo Finance reported. The revised target stood USD 34.15 above the September 25 price of USD 119.85.

MarketBeat reported a broader average target of USD 140.93 and a Moderate Buy consensus. The same report cited a USD 136.00 target from Truist after a reduction from USD 145.00 on September 16, 2026, showing that analyst views remain positive but have been recalibrated.

October results set the next checkpoint

PulteGroup's investor calendar lists the third-quarter 2026 earnings release before the market opens on October 22, 2026, according to the PulteGroup Newsroom. That date will put the revenue decline and the earnings beat into a fresh operating-period comparison.
