D.R. Horton Stock 5-Day Losing Spree: Stock Falls -7.1%
D.R. Horton (DHI) stock hit day 5 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -7.1% return. The company has lost about $3.3 Bil in value over the last 5 days, with its current market capitalization at about $43 Bil. The stock remains 5.2% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 16.9% for the S&P 500.
D.R. Horton’s recent streak reflects broader homebuilder caution, triggered by a peer’s soft new order forecast and persistent affordability challenges. Despite mortgage rates ticking under 6% for 30-year fixed loans, investors are weighing decelerating home price growth, impacting demand.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There are several things to fear in DHI stock given its overall Weak operating performance and financial condition. This is aligned with the stock’s Low valuation because of which we think it is Fairly Priced (see Buy or Sell DHI).
