Forward guidance

PulteGroup is well-positioned to increase delivery volumes, revenues, homebuilding gross margins and earnings in 2020.

Tailwinds

  • The company anticipates increased delivery volumes in 2020.
  • Revenue is expected to increase in the coming year.
  • Homebuilding gross margins are projected to rise.
  • Earnings are expected to grow in 2020.
  • Strong demand for new homes is benefitting from favorable market dynamics including improved affordability in part due to low mortgage rates, high employment and consumer confidence, and a generally balanced inventory of new homes.

Headwinds

  • Interest rate changes and the availability of mortgage financing.
  • The availability and cost of land and other raw materials used by us in our homebuilding operations.
  • The availability and cost of insurance covering risks associated with our businesses.
  • Shortages and the cost of labor.
  • Economic changes nationally or in our local markets, including inflation, deflation, changes in consumer confidence and preferences and the state of the market for homes in general.
