Read MoreHide Full Article
Dream Finders Homes, Inc. (DFH - Free Report) is expected to have generated higher earnings and revenues in first-quarter 2024 on a year-over-year basis.
In the last reported quarter, earnings and revenues topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 49.3% and 36.3%, respectively. On a year-over-year basis, earnings and revenues increased 28.2% and 3.5%, respectively.
The company’s earnings topped analysts’ expectations in the trailing four quarters, the average being 144.9%.
Trend in Estimate Revision
For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share (EPS) has increased to 70 cents from 65 cents over the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a rise of 55.6% from the year-ago quarter.
Dream Finders Homes, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $934.2 million, suggesting an increase of 21.4% from the year-ago reported figure.
Key Factors to Note
DFH’s first-quarter revenues are expected to have increased from the year-ago level on improving demand trends. The upside is mainly backed by the low supply of existing homes, decreased average selling prices that have sparked new order growth rates, and decreasing cancelation rates. Also, a strong business model and a stabilizing economy are likely to have aided the company’s results to some extent.
For the quarter to be reported, the consensus mark for Home closings is expected to increase to 1,790 units from 1,517 homes on a year-over-year basis. The same for average sales price is likely to increase to $521,896 year over year from $490,553.
The consensus estimate for Net new orders is currently pegged at 1,810 homes, up from 1,448 units reported in the prior year.
Meanwhile, the bottom line of DFH is quite likely to have been pressurized by variability in product mix, higher financing and closing costs, as well as purchase accounting amortization from its recent acquisitions.
