What the Analysts think about Forestar Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Forestar Group stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Forestar Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Forestar ended fiscal 2026 with $1.3 billion of liquidity and a 6.7% net-debt-to-capital ratio, giving it room to keep investing through a weaker housing market and pursue opportunities. (SEC)
Its 21,500 lots under contract represent about $2.2 billion of future revenue, and customer deposits help secure those sales. That backlog provides a meaningful base of visibility for future deliveries. (SEC)
There is scope to win more business from its largest customer: Forestar-developed lots accounted for 14% of D.R. Horton’s home starts in fiscal 2026, against a mutually stated longer-term goal of one-third. Forestar also sold lots to 12 other builders in the third quarter, offering a route to broaden demand. (The Motley Fool, Longbridge)
Management’s fiscal 2027 outlook implies another year of lower activity: it expects 12,000–13,000 lot deliveries and $1.4–$1.5 billion in revenue, below fiscal 2026’s 13,545 lots and $1.64 billion. (SEC)
Earnings momentum weakened in fiscal 2026: net income fell 15% and pre-tax income fell 12% from the prior year. Fourth-quarter net income was down 32%, with impairment charges and project close-out costs weighing on margins. (SEC)
Demand remains vulnerable to affordability pressures and higher mortgage rates, while builders are managing finished-lot purchases more cautiously. Forestar’s owned-and-controlled lot position also shrank to 84,400 from 99,800 a year earlier, and its largest customer remains D.R. Horton. (The Motley Fool, SEC)
