Taylor Morrison’s CFO Dave Cone said, “Our strong outlook for operating cash flow has equipped us with flexibility to continue to invest in our business, drive further balance sheet deleveraging and return excess capital to shareholders via share repurchases.”
On April 29, TMHC reported Q1 earnings in line with the Street’s estimates of $0.75 per share but revenue of $1.42 billion missed analysts’ expectations of $1.47 billion.
Following the results, Barclays analyst Matthew Bouley lifted the price target on the stock to $40 (33.7% upside potential) from $39 while maintaining a Buy rating.
The rest of the Street is cautiously optimistic about the stock with a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 3 Buys and 3 Holds. The average analyst price target of $38.10 implies 27.4% upside potential to current levels. Shares have gained 51.8% over the past year.
