About

PulteGroup, Inc. is an Atlanta, Georgia-based residential homebuilder — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PHM) as an S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary component — operating as the third-largest US homebuilder with 800,000+ homes delivered since founding across 45 markets in 23 states through three brand tiers: Pulte Homes (move-up and multi-generational buyers), Centex (value-focused first-time buyers), and Del Webb (active adult communities for buyers 55 and over). In fiscal year 2024, PulteGroup reported record revenues of $17.9 billion, record net income of $3.1 billion, and closed 31,219 homes (up 7% year-over-year) — while maintaining industry-leading gross margins of 27.5% and return on equity of 27.5%. Q4 2024 net income was $913 million ($4.43 per share). PulteGroup guided to approximately 29,000 home closings in 2025 with $5 billion in land acquisition and development investment. In February 2025, PulteGroup deployed the Hadrian X AI-guided robotic bricklaying system in Florida — an automated wall construction robot that lays 200-300 bricks per hour using CAD-to-construction technology — reducing labor-intensive masonry work and construction cycle times. Founded in 1950 by William J. Pulte (at age 18 in Michigan), PulteGroup grew through seven decades and strategic acquisitions of DiVosta Homes (2001), Centex Corporation ($3.1B, 2009), and John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods (2016) to become a Fortune 200 company.
