How Pultegroup makes money

It earns most of its revenue by selling newly built homes and the land they sit on to buyers. It also makes money from financial services tied to those sales, including mortgage lending, title services, and insurance agency fees.

What is Pultegroup worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Pultegroup's most-likely value is about $115 versus a recent price near $112 (3% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$73) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Fairly priced — no edge
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $112
Fair value (most likely)
$115
Range
$95–$149
No-growth floor
$73
Price
~$112

Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
