excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

American Homebuilding

D.R. Horton is an American company that specializes in homebuilding and development. The company designs and constructs homes catering to a variety of buyers, ranging from entry-level to luxury homes, under multiple brand names. The company's operations span building single-family detached homes, townhomes, condominiums, and multi-family residences. D.R. Horton is one of the largest homebuilders in America, having built well over one million homes since its foundation. The company is headquartered in Arlington, Texas, and its shares are traded on the NYSE.

Becoming America’s Builder

The company was founded in 1978 by Donald Ray Horton. Its journey began in Fort Worth, Texas, where Horton established his business with a focus on building quality, single-family homes. Over the years, D.R. Horton expanded significantly by focusing on quality and customer satisfaction. Its growth strategy included acquiring various homebuilders, which helped it broaden its geographic footprint and product offerings, eventually making it one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. It has been publicly traded since 1992.

Four Different Brands

D.R. Horton conducts the building of homes under four different brand names. The D.R. Horton brand is by far the largest and accounts for a majority of the homes sold. The homes built by the brand are catered towards first-time buyers, and those looking to purchase their second home and move up in size. The Express brand is also tailored towards first-time buyers but offers smaller houses at lower prices. Under the Emerald Homes brand, the company offers large and luxurious homes, and the Freedom Homes brand offers affordable homes to active adults who are looking for something low-maintenance.

Some similar publicly traded companies are Lennar, PulteGroup, and KB Home.

The Communities

D.R. Horton's communities are typically suburban, characterized by their emphasis on family-friendly environments. These neighborhoods often include basic amenities like playgrounds and community pools, reflecting a focus on residential needs. The layout of these communities usually features streets lined with single-family homes, maintaining a uniform appearance in design and landscaping. While they offer proximity to essential services like schools and shopping centers, these communities generally don’t incorporate advanced infrastructure or unique architectural styles, often reflecting standard suburban residential development patterns.
