How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

most of the raise reflects the beat in the quarter. How should we think about sustainability of this pricing momentum into the second half?
Show response
CEO pushed back firmly on the pricing debate, citing strong price/cost fundamentals. Acknowledged fuel and private label timing may create a U-shape but expressed confidence in working through it.
Could you size the LIFO impact this quarter relative to other quarters, just directionally?

How do you think about the timing of what you are seeing in the land market today for when it actually flows through your P&L
Show response
Marshall confirmed 50/50 land acquisition vs development cost split as rule of thumb. Timing from contract to P&L is 18-24 months depending on entitlement. Current easing benefits late 2027 and beyond.
What exactly is the build-to-order closings mix in the second half, and is there anything else that supports that level of sequential margin improvement
Show response
Marshall emphasized modest improvement needed (24.4% to 24.5-25% range), driven by both higher BTO mix and less finished spec clearing drag. Not a colossal margin shift required.
