Description: FOR Forestar November 17, 2025

Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) is a U.S.-based residential lot developer that acquires raw land, installs basic infrastructure (roads, utilities, drainage) and sells finished single-family lots to homebuilders ranging from local contractors to national builders. The firm was founded in 2005, is headquartered in Arlington, Texas, and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder.

Key operating metrics (as of the most recent 10-K) include a land inventory of roughly 2,300 acres, an average lot price of $78 k, and a gross margin on lot sales of about 38 %. The business is highly sensitive to macro-drivers such as U.S. housing starts, mortgage-rate trends, and regional population growth-particularly in Sun Belt metros where demand for single-family homes remains above the national average.

If you want a data-rich, side-by-side comparison of FOR’s valuation multiples and risk profile, a quick look at ValueRay’s analyst toolkit can provide the deeper quantitative context you need to assess the opportunity.
