Earnings Scheduled For January 29, 2025

In the current market session, Meritage Homes Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTH#NYSE">MTH</a>) share price is at $80.02, after a 0.68% decrease. Over the past month, the stock went up by 3.23%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 2.99%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737555309_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Meritage Homes P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 12.46 in the Household Durables industry, Meritage Homes Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 7.29. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737555309_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Why Check-Cap Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 52%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

IESC

Shares of homebuilders, construction and household durables stocks are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

JPMorgan analysts delivered a grim outlook for homebuilders on Friday as the firm moves to a "more cautious, less constructive" approach <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/12/42475272/mortgage-rates-drop-present-opportunities-for-homebuilders">toward the industry. </a>
The JPMorgan analysts, led by Michael Rihault, gave multiple reasons for the shifted 2025 outlook. Renault pointed to several key housing demand drivers, including affordability, interest rates and employment growth, as unlikely to improve significantly in 2025.

The level of existing homes for sale is rising in many key markets. New home supplies remain plentiful, the analyst noted. As a result, Rihault sees growth in home prices to moderate over the next year, slowing to a flat to slightly upward trend. 
JPMorgan analysts expect the incoming Trump administration's immigration policies to be potentially disruptive to the homebuilding industry due to the largest percentage of immigrants in the construction workforce since 2004.&nbsp;
Additionally, Rihaut sees return on equity and earnings growth slowing in 2025 with more downside risk than upside to gross margins and home sales pace.&nbsp;
JPMorgan downgraded several homebuilders and lowered its price targets on the stocks.&nbsp;
Downgrades:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>JPMorgan&#8217;s Rehaut downgraded D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) from Neutral to Underweight and lowered the price target from $188 to $156.</li>
