Forestar Group Inc. posted Q2 2026 diluted earnings of $0.63 per share as the residential lot developer delivered revenue of $374.3M, up 7.0% year-over-year from the $351.0M recorded in Q2 2025. The 7.0% revenue increase suggests steady demand for developable lots even as certain project segments face headwinds. The company earned $32.1M in net income during the period.
The Texas-based land developer sold 2,938 lots during the quarter as it continues to supply finished lots to homebuilders across key markets. Development projects led operations with $329.4M in revenue, though that segment declined 2.8% year-over-year, reflecting shifts in project mix and timing. Forestar operated 94,400 total lots owned and controlled at quarter end, providing a substantial pipeline for future development activity.
The results come as homebuilders navigate a complex environment marked by affordability pressures and fluctuating mortgage rates. Forestar’s business model focuses on acquiring land, obtaining development approvals, and installing infrastructure before selling finished lots to production homebuilders, positioning the company as a critical link in the housing supply chain.
