Equal Weight
Reason
Barclays analyst Matthew Bouley raised the firm's price target on PulteGroup to $115 from $98 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm adjusted ratings and targets in the homebuilding and building products group as part of its 2026 outlook. Barclays expects another year of declines in single-family housing starts, saying the housing market "remains far from balanced." This leaves the homebuilder stocks "volatile, with no cycle call to be made," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays believes building products and brokerage names can outperform despite weakness in new residential. It views building products and distributors as more compelling than homebuilders entering 2026.

Overweight
Reason
JPMorgan analyst Michael Rehaut raised the firm's price target on PulteGroup to $149 from $136 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm maintains a cautious stance on the homebuilders sector for 2026. JPMorgan expects an unfavorable demand/supply backdrop to bring additional pressure and downside risk for builder fundamentals. Builder fundamentals are likely to remain "relatively weak" in 2026, with persisting downside risk to estimates due to a still challenged demand/supply industry backdrop, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on PulteGroup to $145 from $132 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm updated homebuilder models to reflect "modest" volume pressure in the second half of 2025 from a more inelastic buyer but upped price targets on sector multiple expansion.
