Why now
Residential Construction · market cap $41.8b. 19% off the 52-week high of $184.55. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $164.17 (implying +10% upside).
Moat
ROE 13% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 105% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
Horizon
1-3 yr $164.17 (12-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $207.26 at ~7% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $265.80 if the moat survives secular pressure.

D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI): score, valuation & FAQ

D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI) is a Residential Construction company that scores 54.8 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are D/E (A-), P/E (A-) and PEG (B+), while Rev (D+) rate weaker. On valuation, DHI sits about 7% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is DHI a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores DHI 54.8 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by D/E (A-), P/E (A-) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of D.R. Horton, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does DHI score 54.8 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). DHI earns its highest marks on D/E (A-), P/E (A-) and PEG (B+), and is held back by Rev (D+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is DHI overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $149.53, DHI sits about 7% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 13.9x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in DHI?

Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
