US stock futures flounder amid tech weakness, Fed caution
Investing.com - Oppenheimer maintained its Perform rating on D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI) ahead of the homebuilder’s third-quarter 2025 earnings report, due in 7 days. According to InvestingPro data, the $41.8 billion market cap company currently trades at a P/E of 10.2, with analysis suggesting the stock is undervalued.
The research firm cited "incremental pressure on volumes" as a key concern, noting that recent sales trends have fallen below typical seasonal levels for the homebuilder.

The firm expects D.R. Horton to prioritize profit margins at the expense of sales volume in the current market backdrop.
Oppenheimer did not specify a price target in its latest research note on the homebuilder.
