Market Reaction
Did TOL Beat Earnings? Q3 2026 Results
Toll Brothers posted a narrow but clear beat in fiscal Q3 2026, with GAAP earnings of $2.97 per diluted share edging past the $2.93 consensus by 1.53%, even as the luxury homebuilder navigated what CEO Karl Mistry called a "challenging market." Revenue of $2.66 billion topped estimates by 1.56% but fell 9.7% from the year-ago quarter, with home deliveries slipping to 2,662 units from 2,959 and net income declining to $280.14 million from $369.62 million, weighed down by $39.59 million in joint venture impairments, $17.66 million in pre-tax inventory write-downs, and $10.05 million in land-related impairments, all reflected in the reported GAAP figures. The bright spot was demand: net signed contracts rose 5% year over year to $2.52 billion, with cancellation rates improving to 2.6% from 3.2%, suggesting buyers are still engaging with Toll's luxury offerings, including new community openings across markets like Tennessee and Nevada. Management reaffirmed full-year guidance of roughly $10.50 billion in home sales revenues and 10,500 to 10,600 deliveries, while lifting projected share repurchases for fiscal 2026 from $650 million to $700 million.
- Net signed contracts grew 5% year over year to $2.52 billion (2,508 units vs. 2,388)
