Revenue Decline Amid Softer Demand
DHI's Q2 FY2026 revenue fell 2.3% YoY to $7.56B from $7.73B, suggesting softer homebuying demand or pricing pressure in the current interest rate environment, even as the company remains the largest homebuilder in the U.S.
Margin Compression from Sticky Costs
Cost of revenue increased 0.4% YoY to $5.85B despite lower revenues, implying gross margin deterioration. SG&A expenses also edged up 0.5% YoY to $903.3M, further squeezing operating profitability.
Net Income Down Sharply
Net income dropped 20.1% YoY to $647.9M, with diluted EPS declining 13.2% to $2.24 from $2.58, reflecting the combined impact of lower revenues and higher relative costs.
