NYSE:TMHC Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Apr 2026
NYSE:TMHC Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Apr 2026

Margins Under Pressure at 8.8%

  • Trailing net profit margin is 8.8% on US$7.6b of revenue and US$667.7 million of net income, compared with 10.8% a year earlier. The company is currently earning a smaller share of each dollar of sales as profit than it did over the prior year.
  • Consensus narrative points out that heavier use of spec homes and incentives can weigh on profitability, and the shift in the last 12 months lines up with that concern:
    • Net income on a trailing basis is US$667.7 million versus US$906.5 million a year earlier, which fits with the idea that margins have come under pressure as product mix and incentives change.
    • Analysts also expect margins to move from 9.6% today to 7.6% in three years, and the current 8.8% trailing margin already sits between those two points. This supports the more cautious part of the consensus view on profitability.

EPS Trend Versus Bullish Hopes

  • On a trailing twelve month basis, basic EPS is US$6.83 compared with US$8.76 a year earlier, and quarterly EPS over the last year has moved between US$1.03 and US$2.35. The current US$1.03 in Q1 2026 sits at the low end of the recent range.
  • Bulls argue that efficiency gains and a higher mix of move up and resort lifestyle buyers can support earnings over time, yet the recent EPS pattern is more muted than that story suggests:
    • The bullish view refers to five year earnings growth of about 5.7% per year, while the latest trailing EPS of US$6.83 is below the prior trailing reading of US$8.76. This shows the most recent period is not following that longer trend.
    • Bullish analysts also look for profit margins to rise from 10.2% to 10.6%, but the current trailing margin of 8.8% is below both figures, so recent results do not yet reflect the margin lift that more optimistic investors are counting on.
Bulls argue that Taylor Morrison’s operational tweaks and community pipeline could eventually support those higher margin assumptions, but recent EPS and margin data show why many investors still treat the bullish case as something to be proven. 🐂 Taylor Morrison Home Bull Case

Valuation Gap Against Bear Concerns

  • The trailing P/E is 9x at a share price of US$64.33, compared with an industry average of 12.4x and peer average of 21.3x. A DCF fair value of US$77.20 sits about 20% above the current price, so the stock trades at a discount on several measures.
  • Bears focus on forecast declines in revenue of about 3.1% per year and earnings of about 5% per year over the next three years, yet the current valuation already prices the company below both DCF fair value and analyst target assumptions:
    • Analysts use revenue projections that move from around US$8.1b on a trailing basis to US$6.8b by 2029, but even with those lower numbers they arrive at an implied P/E of 15.2x, versus the current 9x. The present multiple sits well below the level used in their long run models.
    • The DCF fair value of US$77.20 and analyst price target reference of US$70.11 are both above the US$64.33 share price, so while bears highlight the pressured earnings outlook, the market price already reflects a discount relative to those valuation anchors.
Skeptics warn that declining earnings can still weigh on returns, but the current P/E and gap to both DCF fair value and analyst targets explain why some investors see room for upside if results come in better than the cautious forecasts. 🐻 Taylor Morrison Home Bear Case
