D.R. Horton stock (ISIN US23331A1097) closed at USD 137.92 on September 17, 2026, up 0.8 percent from the prior session. The builder is trading after a September 11, 2026 note from MarketBeat said Wells Fargo cut its target price on D.R. Horton from USD 155.00 to USD 145.00 and kept an equal weight rating.

Q3 numbers still matter

That same MarketBeat report said D.R. Horton posted Q3 EPS of USD 3.20, above the USD 3.02 consensus by USD 0.18, while revenue reached USD 9.23 billion against USD 9.10 billion expected. In the same quarter a year earlier, EPS was USD 3.36, so the latest result shows a decline of USD 0.16 year over year.

For investors, the gap between the share price of USD 137.92 and Wells Fargo's USD 145.00 target is now a concrete reference point. The latest quarter also leaves the company with a revenue beat of USD 130 million and an EPS beat of 5.96 percent versus estimates.

Range and valuation

On September 18, 2026, Fidelity showed D.R. Horton at USD 138.44, with a bid of USD 138.44, an ask of USD 141.07 and a daily move of USD 2.06, or 1.49 percent. MarketBeat put the 12-month range at USD 131.75 to USD 176.22 and the market cap at USD 39.30 billion.

The stock is still closer to the lower half of that band than to the high, which leaves valuation and interest-rate sensitivity in focus for the homebuilder trade. A first.

What comes next

According to Fidelity, the most recent earnings period is the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and the factsheet also carries the live price snapshot used here. The combination of a USD 137.92 close, a USD 145.00 target and a USD 39.30 billion market cap gives the stock a narrow but measurable trading frame.
