PulteGroup is trading 4.26% higher at $117.69 on October 22, 2026, as 4% year-over-year backlog growth may have helped offset its Q3 earnings miss.
- Q3 earnings were $2.53 per share and revenue was $3.97 billion, both below analyst expectations; gross margin was 24.8%.
- Revenue, net income, home closings and gross margin were lower than a year earlier.
- Broader markets were lower; available evidence does not point to market strength behind the gain.
