Valuation Metrics
Fundamental Analysis
Key Financial Insights: ⢠Strong profitability ⢠Rising inventories ⢠Q1 cash variability TOL shows durable fullâyear profitability and reasonable valuation (ROE ~17%, net margin ~12%, FCF ~$1.03B) but earlyâ2026 signs â margin compression, higher inventory and a negative quarterly free cash flow â warrant nearâterm monitoring.
Price Behavior
Key Price Behavior Insights: ⢠Below last month MA ⢠~11% drawdown ⢠Support retest risk Support Level: $144â$146 Resistance Level: $160â$166 TOL is trading below its last month simple moving average and has dropped ~11% from the 2026-02-13 high, showing short-term bearish momentum with support near $144â$146 and resistance around $160â$166.
Sentiment & News
Key News Insights: ⢠Beat estimates ⢠Margin pressure ⢠Insider sale Toll Brothers beat Q1 revenue and EPS estimates and reaffirmed FY26 guidance with improving demand signals, but margin pressure, softer backlog/flat orders and an insider sale tempered enthusiasm.
AI Summary
Toll Brothers should be reârated as a hybrid value/capitalâallocation tradeâwhere strong liquidity, low leverage, large optioned land and a $650M buyback provide meaningful downside protection and upside via share reduction, but investors must watch sequential backlog growth, margin stabilization (near 26% GA) and inventory/workingâcapital trends as the key execution risks that will determine whether buybacks and land optionality unlock value.
