Dream Finders Homes director Lovett sells shares worth $998,184

William Radford Lovett II, a director and significant shareholder of Dream Finders Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ:DFH), recently sold shares amounting to a total of $998,184, according to a recent SEC filing. The transactions occurred on March 12 and 13, with shares sold at prices ranging from $24.3 to $25.62. Based on InvestingPro analysis, DFH currently trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 7.1, suggesting potential undervaluation despite recent stock volatility.

The sales involved a total of 40,573 shares of Class A common stock. Following these transactions, Lovett retains ownership of 4,500,386 shares held indirectly through the W. Radford Lovett II GST Exempt Trust. This trust, for which Lovett serves as the sole trustee, continues to hold a significant stake in the homebuilding company, which maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 6.84.

These transactions represent a strategic adjustment in Lovett’s holdings, as he continues to maintain a substantial interest in Dream Finders Homes, which is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company remains a key player in the real estate and construction industry, with impressive revenue growth of 18.75% over the last twelve months and a market capitalization of $2.2 billion. Two analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period.

In other recent news, Dream Finders Homes reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that surpassed analyst expectations. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.29, exceeding the anticipated $1.13, and revenue increased by 35% year-over-year to $1.5 billion, above the $1.41 billion consensus estimate. This growth was largely driven by a 40% increase in home closings, reaching 3,008 units, with significant contributions from the acquisition of Crescent Homes. Despite a 3% decline in the average sales price to $507,477, the company ended the year on a high note, marking its best quarter to date. For the full year 2024, Dream Finders saw a 17% increase in home closings to 8,583 units, with revenue rising 18% to $4.4 billion. Looking forward, the company anticipates approximately 9,250 home closings in 2025, representing about 8% growth from 2024 levels. Dream Finders also highlighted several acquisitions completed in 2024 and early 2025 that are expected to contribute to future earnings growth. However, the adjusted homebuilding gross margin declined to 26.9% in Q4 from 28.1% the previous year, attributed to higher land and financing costs.
