Green Brick Q2 Revenue Beats as Texas Demand Drives 19% Order Surge
GRBK sits 18% above its 52-week low of $60.44.
Summary
Green Brick's Q2 revenue of $481.6M beat the $473.3M consensus, powered by a 19% jump in net new home orders in Texas. The top-line beat is notable given the 11% decline in home closings revenue and an 11.9% drop in average sales price, reflecting heavy incentive use to maintain volume. Gross margin held at 29.8%, and financial services income nearly doubled, adding a bright spot. The company repurchased $9.4M in stock and pointed to sequential backlog growth as a setup for the second half. This follows a tough Q1 that included a restatement and backlog decline, making the order rebound a potential inflection signal. With shares trading at 12x forward earnings and a $67 median target, the beat could force analysts to revisit estimates.
