Taylor Morrison delivered a stronger-than-expected first quarter for fiscal 2026, posting adjusted earnings of $1.12 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $0.84, a beat of 33.38%, even as the homebuilder navigated a year-over-year revenue… Read more Taylor Morrison delivered a stronger-than-expected first quarter for fiscal 2026, posting adjusted earnings of $1.12 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $0.84, a beat of 33.38%, even as the homebuilder navigated a year-over-year revenue decline of 26.8% to $1.39 billion that underscored ongoing volume pressure across the industry. The outperformance came despite a 26% drop in home closings to 2,268 units and a 400-basis-point contraction in adjusted gross margin to 20.6%, as elevated incentive activity relative to the prior year weighed on profitability. Revenue still edged past the $1.33 billion consensus by 4.51%, reflecting disciplined pricing and a deliberate shift toward to-be-built orders, which climbed to 38% of the net sales mix from 28% in the prior quarter. Backlog grew 23% sequentially to 3,465 homes valued at $2.30 billion, and management reaffirmed full-year guidance targeting approximately 11,000 closings at an average price between $580,000 and $590,000, with RBC raising its price target on the stock to $69 following the results.

  • Significant increase in to-be-built order mix to 38% from 28% in Q4 2025
  • Sequential reduction of more than 100 basis points in incentives
  • 30% decline in finished spec count to 863 homes
  • 23% sequential backlog growth to 3,465 homes
  • 88% mortgage capture rate with average borrower credit score of 750
