Forestar Group Inc. (FOR) announced its second-quarter financial results on Tuesday, reporting a marginal increase in both net earnings and total revenue compared to the previous year. The residential lot developer continues to navigate the housing market with a stable revenue stream, though a slight adjustment to delivery guidance suggests a cautious outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year. Net earnings for the quarter reached $32.1 million, or $0.63 per share, up from $31.6 million or $0.62 per share in the same period last year. Quarterly revenue grew to $374.3 million, compared to $351.0 million a year ago. Regarding its operational footprint, the company's lot position stood at 94,400 lots at the end of the quarter. This total consists of 63,500 owned lots and 30,900 lots controlled through land and lot purchase contracts. Looking toward fiscal 2026, Forestar maintained its revenue guidance between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion. However, the company updated its lot delivery guidance to a range of 14,000 to 14,500 lots, a slight reduction from the previous range of 14,000 to 15,000. Shares of Forestar traded slightly lower in pre-market activity following the announcement, reflecting a neutral to cautious investor response to the results.
