Description: FOR Forestar January 20, 2026
Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) is a U.S.-based residential lot developer that purchases raw land, installs essential infrastructure, and sells finished single-family lots to homebuilders ranging from local contractors to national builders. Established in 2005 and headquartered in Arlington, Texas, the company operates as a subsidiary of D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder.
Key operating metrics show FY 2023 revenue of roughly $1.2 billion with a net income margin near 8 %, while the firm held an inventory of about 4,800 developable lots at quarter-end, reflecting a 12 % year-over-year increase in lot supply. The business is highly sensitive to macro-drivers such as residential mortgage rates, housing-starts trends, and regional population growth-particularly in Sun Belt metros where demand for new single-family homes remains robust.
