D.R. Horton Sets October 29 Date for Fiscal 2026 Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results

D.R. Horton, Inc., the largest U.S. homebuilder by volume, has scheduled its fourth-quarter and fiscal year-end 2026 earnings release for October 29, 2026. The announcement will cap off the company’s fiscal year and give investors a full read on how the builder navigated a housing market shaped by elevated mortgage rates and affordability pressures.

The Texas-based company operates across six regions — East, North, Southeast, South Central, Southwest, and Northwest — building and selling homes in 126 markets spanning 36 states. Its business also includes land acquisition and development, making its year-end report a broad gauge of residential construction activity nationwide.

Shares of D.R. Horton traded at $135.57 in Thursday’s session, down 2.42% from the prior close of $138.93, valuing the company at roughly $39.93 billion. The stock is classified in the residential construction industry within the consumer cyclical sector, a grouping that has remained sensitive to interest-rate expectations throughout the year.

Fiscal year-end reports from homebuilders typically draw heightened attention because they bundle fourth-quarter results with full-year commentary, including closing volumes, backlog, order trends, and outlook guidance for the coming fiscal year. For D.R. Horton, analysts and market watchers generally focus on average selling prices, incentives aimed at buyers, gross margins, and the pace of land spend — all key indicators of demand in the for-sale housing market.

October 29 falls within the dense stretch of third-quarter calendar earnings for public companies, meaning the release will land alongside results from banks, industrial firms, and other consumer-facing businesses. For the homebuilding group, D.R. Horton’s report often serves as an early benchmark, with peers such as Lennar and PulteGroup reporting on their own fiscal schedules in the weeks surrounding it.

The company has not yet specified the exact time of the release or whether it will host a conference call the same morning, though homebuilders traditionally pair their earnings with a management call discussing market conditions and guidance.

What to watch

• The exact timing of the October 29 release and confirmation of a same-day conference call.
• Fiscal 2027 guidance when issued, including closings, revenue, and homebuilding margin expectations.
• Fourth-quarter order and backlog figures as signals of buyer demand heading into the new fiscal year.
• Comments on incentives, mortgage-rate buydowns, and affordability amid current rate conditions.
• Peer earnings calendars from other major homebuilders for comparative context on the sector.
