As of October 17, 2026, D.R. Horton, Inc. scores 5.6 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of solid quality. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is D.R. Horton, Inc.’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Set against 179 Consumer Discretionary companies, D.R. Horton, Inc. lands at the 62nd percentile, above the middle of the group. The median across the group is 5.0, and the top quarter begins at 6.1, so D.R. Horton, Inc. is above the typical company here.
D.R. Horton, Inc.’s profitability score is 5.4 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.1 among 176 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is in line with the group and the 53rd percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
Solvency has no score for D.R. Horton, Inc. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 141 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.9. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Growth scores 5.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so D.R. Horton, Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 67th percentile. Growth near the median is neither a reason to buy nor a concern, but it does mean the quality case rests more on the other pillars.
On efficiency, D.R. Horton, Inc. scores 6.1, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, which places it in line with them, at the 49th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 5.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 178 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.0, so D.R. Horton, Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 64th percentile. Middling predictability suggests some volatility in the record, enough to read the other pillars with a little caution.
The five readings are evenly matched. The best, efficiency at 6.1, is just 0.7 points above the weakest, profitability at 5.4, so no single pillar is carrying the score. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
D.R. Horton, Inc. has no pillar below the median of Consumer Discretionary companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 5.3 rather than 5.6. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
