    Toll Brothers home deliveries decline 10% as rising costs compress residential margins

    Question

    Toll Brothers home deliveries decline 10% as rising costs compress residential margins

    Direct answer

    Toll Brothers posted a 10% year-over-year contraction in completed home deliveries for Q3 fiscal 2026, illustrating the demand drag created by elevated benchmark interest rates. While realized home prices rose 2.3%, the pricing lift proved insufficient to neutralize higher corporate SG&A and supply input costs. The homebuilder's total revenue and net income declined year-over-year, leading to a 10.7% equity sell-off as analysts lowered full-year earnings projections.
