How has Residential Construction moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 45% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 15% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 7 weeks running.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 18 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Residential Construction outperforming S&P 500?
Residential Construction has underperformed S&P 500 by 5.2% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 10.9%. 7 of 18 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Beazer Homes USA, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +30.1%.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Legacy Housing Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Taylor Morrison Home Corporation looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Taylor Morrison Home Corporation has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Lennar Corporation has the highest Revenue among the 18 Residential Construction companies compared here, at $32,737 million. Toll Brothers, Inc. is next at $11,045 million. Cavco Industries, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 11.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 15 of 18 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Lennar Corporation is the scale leader at $32,737 million, 196.4% ahead of Toll Brothers, Inc.. Cavco Industries, Inc.'s growth is 11.4% from a $2,245 million base, with 18 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Lennar Corporation is the scale benchmark; Cavco Industries, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Lennar Corporation's growth falls below Cavco Industries, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Residential Construction comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 18 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 18 companies in the canonical Residential Construction membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 18 Residential Construction companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

These 18 answers restate the Residential Construction comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 18 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Residential Construction company is the biggest?

Which Residential Construction company is growing fastest?
Cavco Industries, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 11.4% year on year, across 15 of 18 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Residential Construction company has the best profit margins?
Legacy Housing Corporation has the highest operating margin at 36.1%, from 18 of 18 comparable companies. Legacy Housing Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +3.6 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Lennar Corporation earns the most, at $1,599 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 15 of 18 comparable companies. Cavco Industries, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 11.8%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Residential Construction company earns the highest return on capital?
NVR, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 7%, across 18 of 18 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Residential Construction stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.23×. Only 13 of 18 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Residential Construction company has the strongest balance sheet?
Legacy Housing Corporation carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $2 million, from 18 of 18 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Residential Construction company is investing most in new capacity?
D.R. Horton, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $42 million, across 18 of 18 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.

Which Residential Construction stock has the strongest price momentum?
Beazer Homes USA, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Residential Construction company scores highest for research priority?
Legacy Housing Corporation scores 65.7 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 20.9 points on growth and earnings, 16.1 on capital efficiency, 9.8 on valuation and 18.9 on relative strength.
