Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on Toll Brothers, Raises Price Target to $130

One of the blue-chip icons, home improvement retailing giant Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) usually represents a sturdy hand, no matter what the economic conditions. It's not exciting in any sense of the word but it pays a dividend. Further, the products that it offers are essential. That said, HD stock hasn't had a great run this year, losing about 6% on a year-to-date basis. Still, the wind may be shifting.
Primarily, sentiment appears to be picking up in the homebuilding industry. Sector giants Toll Brothers Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>) and KB Home (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) have both started Monday on a strong footing. Further, both securities have witnessed upside momentum in the past five sessions, with the former gaining over 5% and the latter moving up nearly 4%. Even some real estate listing specialists, such as Zillow Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>, NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>) have risen in recent sessions.
To be sure, the real estate market is a tricky beast. Last month, data released by the National Association of Realtors revealed that in April, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45569641/us-home-sales-sink-to-6-month-low-as-high-rates-rattle-buyer-confidence">U.S. home sales sank</a> to a six-month low due to high interest rates curtailing buyer confidence. Adding to the dilemma, it's not entirely clear when (or if) rates will decline. In May, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell remarked that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45353863/new-inflation-data-hits-tuesday-why-it-could-kill-fed-rate-cut-hopes">monetary policy</a> was in a "good place" and that the central bank would wait for more clarity.
Driving much of the uncertainty is President Donald Trump's tariffs, which have rattled multiple segments of the business community. At the same time, the administration has made progress in securing what it deems more favorable terms, which has led to substantive results. For example, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45831511/boeing-737-max-deliveries-to-china-restart-after-month-long-pause-amid-trade-tensions-with-us-over-trumps-tariffs">resume deliveries to Chinese airlines</a> after a month-long pause triggered by rising trade tensions.
By logical deduction, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to assume that some negotiations could occur regarding one of the central issues impacting homebuilders: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44592073/tariffs-could-shake-building-industry-homebuilders-plumbing-flooring-face-rising-costs">lumber tariffs</a>. Throughout the imposition of levies, Trump has barked loudly but has also walked back his aggressive posture. So, it may not be all doom and gloom for HD stock.
On a secondary note, Home Depot still benefits from everyday demand. Pipes don't care if economic conditions are worsening; they will break when they break (and often at inopportune moments). The immediacy of this business — by offering ample physical locations — also helps mitigate pressure from online competitors.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Statistical Framework Bodes Well For HD Stock</h2>
While narratives provide context and color for those with a long-term investment view, they're not always granular enough for traders. Wall Street analysts love giving out 12-month price targets because these allow the thesis breathing room. In such circumstances, the "why" of an investment is central. But for traders, the focus is on the "how" — as in how much, how fast and how likely.
Especially for options traders, the multi-layered risk profile requires more fine-tuned data. While options provide leverage, thus multiplying relatively small returns in the open market for big payouts in the derivatives market, they also expire. This means that a trade must be profitable in terms of the price target (y-axis) and within the allotted time period (x-axis).
Subsequently, probabilities represent the central concern among options traders. The problem is that the underlying statistical analysis to extract probability matrices cannot occur without stationarity; that is, the metric of comparison must be temporally consistent. Unfortunately, both fundamental and technical analysis run into the stationarity problem as their valuation and price (and price-derivative) metrics often drift over time.
What is consistent across time is market breadth, the sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions. Market breadth is essentially a representation of demand and demand is binary — it's either happening or it's not. As such, demand profiles are easily categorizable and quantifiable, lending themselves to statistical rigor.

In the past two months, HD stock printed an "8-2-U" sequence: eight up weeks, two down weeks, with a net positive trajectory across the 10-week period. Over the past decade, this pattern has emerged 31 times. In 61.29% of cases, the following week's price action results in upside, with a median return of 1.23%.
If the implications of the 8-2-U pan out as projected, HD stock could potentially rise to $371.79, based on last Friday's closing price of $367.27. Should the bulls maintain control of the market, it's possible that within the next three weeks, an attempt can be made to push the price toward $375.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aggressive Leverage To Boost A Boring Name</h2>
Those interested in playing the numbers may consider the 365/370 bull call spread expiring June 27. This transaction involves buying the $365 call and simultaneously selling the $370, for a net debit paid of $290. Should HD stock rise through the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is $210, a payout of over 72%.
Arguably, the above represents the most aggressive trade that has a solid chance of being profitable. However, for those who really want to swing for the fences, there is another spread available: the 370/375 bull spread, also expiring June 27. This transaction requires a net debit of $220 but the max reward is $280 (if HD rises through $375 at expiration), a payout of over 127%.
It's going to come down to risk tolerance. Looking at the empirical data, a price target of $372 is reasonable based on median performances following the 8-2-U sequence. But the median also means that the actual figure could come in higher or lower. It's a probability, not a guarantee.
Still, on a final note, the chance that HD stock will rise on any given week is 55.51%. Therefore, the current demand profile is offering 5.78 percentage points of favorable odds. Again, while this doesn't guarantee upside, it incentivizes a debit-based options strategy.

Reiteration

Raymond James Reiterates Strong Buy on Toll Brothers, Lowers Price Target to $130

The US housing market witnessed a slowdown in April, with sales of existing homes dropping to the lowest level in six months. This slump is attributed to high interest rates and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/consumer-confidence">dwindling consumer confidence.</a>
What Happened: Sales of existing homes in April dipped by 0.5% from March, reaching a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 4 million units, as per data from the National Association of Realtors. This represents the slowest pace since last October, marking a 2% decrease from April of the previous year.
Contrary to predictions by housing economists for a 2.7% gain, the sales count, likely based on closings signed in February and March, declined prior to the rise in mortgage rates in April. &#8220;Home sales have been at 75% of normal or pre-pandemic activity for the past three years, even with seven million jobs added to the economy,&#8221; said Lawrence Yun, NAR&#8217;s chief economist.

Housing inventory rose 9% in April from March and was nearly 21% higher than a year earlier. The median price of an existing home sold reached $414,000, a modest 1.8% gain from last year.
&#8220;At the macro level, we are still in a mild seller&#8217;s market,&#8221; Yun added. &#8220;But with the highest inventory levels in nearly five years, consumers are in a better situation to negotiate for better deals.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The report showing a slowdown in home sales comes on the heels of a surge in mortgage rates. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45540541/5-treasury-yields-are-back-and-so-are-painful-mortgage-rates">Mortgage rates reached a three-month high</a> as long-term U.S. Treasury yields surpassed the critical 5% mark this week, driven by rising deficits and fiscal policy fears. This led to a 5.1% drop in mortgage application volumes for the week ending May 16, marking the steepest decline in a month.
Despite the overall slowdown, some companies like Toll Brothers Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>) reported strong Q2 results. The company&#8217;s quarterly earnings and revenue surpassed analyst estimates, indicating that some housing market segments are still performing well <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45531911/toll-brothers-shares-are-up-after-strong-q2-results-eps-beat-revenues-beat">despite the broader downturn.</a>

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on Toll Brothers, Raises Price Target to $169

Wells Fargo analyst Sam Reid maintains Toll Brothers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $120 to $130.

As housing affordability reaches a critical point, homebuilding company Toll Brothers Inc.  (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOL#NYSE">TOL</a>) CEO Douglas Yearley gave insights about the customer base during the <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/05/45536617/why-toll-brothers-shares-are-trading-higher-by-over-6-here-are-20-stocks-moving-premarket">second-quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday. What Happened: Yearly said, &#8220;Over 70% of our business serves the move-up and empty-nester segments.&#8221; He revealed that &#8220;these buyers are wealthier, have greater financial flexibility, and most have equity in their existing homes,&#8221; highlighting the affluence of Toll&#8217;s average buyer.
According to the company, the average price of homes in its backlog has climbed to $1.13 million, a record high, and on top of the base pricing, buyers spent an additional $200,000 on upgrades.

&#8220;The average spend on design studio selections, structural options, and lot premiums was approximately $200,000 per home in Q2,&#8221; Yearley said, &#8220;these upgrades benefit our margins as they tend to be highly accretive.&#8221;
When asked about mortgage rates and their impact on the business, Yearley said, &#8220;a little tick in mortgage rate&#8221; doesn&#8217;t affect the company&#8217;s clientele all that much. This is because 24% of its buyers pay in cash, and even those who rely on financing have an average loan-to-value ratio of just 70%.
Yearley also added that &#8220;a good part of the 30% of first-time buyers we sell to are getting some help from mom and dad with generational wealth transfer,&#8221; underscoring the financial strength of its core customer base.
Despite the recent <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43891619/home-sales-tick-down-as-prices-hit-all-time-high-affordability-a-major-challenge-economist-says">softness in housing demand</a>, Toll reaffirmed full-year guidance and raised its stock buyback target to $600 million.
Why It Matters: This comes at a time when the U.S. is experiencing a housing affordability crisis, with buyers having to spend 42.4% of their monthly income to make payments on their homes, according to John Burns Research &amp; Consulting, underscoring the sharp divide between the entry-level and luxury housing segments.

While Most Americans Can't Afford Homes, Toll Brothers CEO Says Some Buyers Are Dropping $200,000 Just On Upgrades

A sharp jump in Treasury yields following Wednesday's weak 20-year bond auction triggered a swift market reaction, with several high-growth and tech names plunging between 1:05 p.m. and 2:05 p.m. ET—the exact window 30-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries">yields spiked above 5.08%.</a>
Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>) led the decline, falling 6.9%, followed by Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>), which dropped 5%, data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> platform shows. 
AI infrastructure firm CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) slid 4.4%, while Bitcoin-linked Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) tumbled 4.3%. 
Trading platform Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) lost 3.7%.
The selloff came as investors repriced risk across equities amid fears of persistently higher rates, sparked by soft demand at the 20-year Treasury auction. 
The bid-to-cover ratio of 2.46 landed near the bottom quartile of the past 50 auctions, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), sliding to a 19-month low.
Notable losers among the 20 movers with at least $10 billion market cap also included Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), with declines of 3.1%, 2.9% and 2.7%, respectively. 
Semiconductor names also came under pressure, as ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) fell 2.8%, while Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) lost 3% during the hour-long selloff. Other high-beta tech stocks such as Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRDO#NASDAQ">CRDO</a>) and Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) each dropped over 3%, reflecting broad-based risk aversion triggered by the Treasury market spike. 
The weakness extended into biotech and aerospace sectors as well, with Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMMT#NASDAQ">SMMT</a>) and Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) down 2.7% and 3.5%, respectively.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist at WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, said that he was &#8220;clear-eyed&#8221; about the tariff impact.
&#8220;These tariffs aren't good for the market. Stocks would be higher without them, but the market's current pricing suggests it can absorb the expected hit at current rates.&#8221;
While there was criticism around the One Big, Beautiful Bill on proposed tax cuts, Siegel said, &#8220;While tariffs remain a headwind, the tax cut and a potential easing of tensions in the Middle East could propel equities closer to all-time highs.&#8221;
Meanwhile, quoting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office">CBO estimates</a>, Craig Shapiro of the Bear Traps Report, said, the new Bill will &#8220;explode the deficit while enriching the highest decile of Americans at the expense of the lowest decile.&#8221; 
&#8220;Another opportunity squandered and further proof that the Republican Party continues to cater to the wealthiest Americans time and time again,&#8221; he added.

Economist Peter Schiff was also not enamoured by the Bill as he stated that the tax cuts just boost GDP at the "expense of larger budget and trade deficits and higher inflation, and long-term interest rates."
