Did TOL Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
Toll Brothers delivered a strong fiscal first quarter for 2026, posting diluted EPS of $2.19 against the $2.11 consensus estimate, a beat of 3.92%, while revenue surged 15.4% year-over-year to $2.15 billion, exceeding expectations by 15.65%. The headline numbers were driven in meaningful part by the company's strategic exit from its Apartment Living multi-family business, which contributed a substantial $290.64 million in land sales and other revenue after Toll Brothers completed roughly half the sale of that portfolio to Kennedy Wilson for approximately $330 million in net cash proceeds. Home sales remained solid at $1.85 billion across 1,899 deliveries at an average price of $977,000, and net signed contracts climbed 3% in dollar terms to $2.38 billion. Management held its full fiscal year 2026 guidance steady, projecting 10,300 to 10,700 deliveries at average prices of $970,000 to $990,000, underscoring confidence in the luxury segment where the company faces limited national competition, a dynamic that has attracted fresh analyst attention and buy-rated coverage in recent weeks.

“We are pleased with our first quarter results, as we met or exceeded guidance across nearly all metrics. We delivered 1,899 homes at an average price of $977,000, generating home sales revenues of $1.85 billion. Our adjusted gross margin was 26.5% in the quarter, 25 basis points better than guidance, and our SG&A expense, as a percentage of homebuilding revenues, was 13.9%, 30 basis points better than guidance. As a result, we earned $2.19 per diluted share in the quarter, a 25% increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. In addition, we signed 2,303 net contracts for $2.4 billion in the quarter, flat in units but up 3% in dollars year-over-year as our average sales price increased to $1,033,000.”
