PulteGroup is a major U.S. homebuilder with brands like Pulte Homes, Centex, and Del Webb, building single-family homes, townhomes, and condos across the country [Yahoo Finance]. The company is financially healthy with strong cash flow ($1.7B free cash flow) and minimal debt (0.1x net debt to EBITDA) [Yahoo Finance], but the stock has underperformed the broader market — down 2.9% year-to-date versus the S&P 500's gains — amid concerns about higher interest rates weighing on housing demand [Yahoo Finance].
