On April 8, Wells Fargo analyst Sam Reid lowered the price recommendation on D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:DHI) to $147 from $155. It reiterated an Equal Weight rating on the shares. He noted that housing stocks have trailed the S&P 500 by 12 points since the start of the Iran war. He also said the group does not look fully derisked heading into Q1, which is why the firm is staying selective across its calendar-year reporters.

That same day, Barclays also trimmed its price target on D.R. Horton to $128 from $129 and maintained an Equal Weight rating. The firm adjusted targets across homebuilding and building products names as part of its Q1 earnings preview.

It added that investors may want to steer clear of homebuilders, noting that 2026 “shapes up to be a potential lost year,” as stated in a research note.
