Behind the Numbers:
Pulte managed to do something rare in its second quarter; it took orders for 32% more homes with 7% fewer communities open. Maybe even more noteworthy, it managed to turn a profit, posting what CEO Richard Dugas called its strongest financial performance in more than five years.“With each passing quarter we grow more confident that new-home demand has found its footing and is moving along a path toward a gradual recovery,” he said.
PulteGroup’s second quarter ended June 30.
