Toll Brothers' (NYSE:TOL) Returns On Capital Are Heading Higher
What are the early trends we should look for to identify a stock that could multiply in value over the long term? Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. This shows us that it's a compounding machine, able to continually reinvest its earnings back into the business and generate higher returns. Speaking of which, we noticed some great changes in Toll Brothers' (NYSE:TOL) returns on capital, so let's have a look. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.

To calculate this metric for Toll Brothers, this is the formula: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.19 = US$2.0b ÷ (US$14b - US$2.7b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to January 2025). So, Toll Brothers has an ROCE of 19%. In absolute terms, that's a satisfactory return, but compared to the Consumer Durables industry average of 13% it's much better. Check out our latest analysis for Toll Brothers In the above chart we have measured Toll Brothers' prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our free analyst report for Toll Brothers . Toll Brothers' ROCE growth is quite impressive.

Basically the business is generating higher returns from the same amount of capital and that is proof that there are improvements in the company's efficiencies. The company is doing well in that sense, and it's worth investigating what the management team has planned for long term growth prospects.

By the time they were done, it was the kind of property people who are living the American dream line up to buy. Don't Miss: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a ?

The brothers' interest in real estate was inspired by their father, who was also a developer. After success with their first luxury property, the brothers decided to make their mark by developing luxury real estate in the Philadelphia area. The Tolls were so successful in this endeavor that they took their company public in 1986, when their stock opened at $12.50 per share. By 1993, the company had built and sold its 10,000th home and was operating in a diverse group of real estate markets that included North Carolina, California, Texas, New York, and Florida. Although New York and California already had strong real estate markets, the Toll Brothers' expansion into emerging sunbelt markets like North Carolina, Florida, and Texas proved incredibly astute. Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. Toll Brothers entered the luxury condominium sector in 2006 with the establishment of Toll Brothers City Living. Their first development, One Ten Third in Manhattan, was a 21-story tower with 77 luxurious residences. Since then, Toll Brothers City Living's portfolio has expanded to include luxury developments in the New York Metro Area, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Toll Brothers stock has been performing for investors throughout its history as a publicly traded company. The company's stock has split four times since its 1986 IPO and currently trades at $106.15. The current share price is a significant fall off from Toll Brothers' January high of $140, which was likely caused by a Q1 2025 earnings report that missed expectations. However, many analysts believe the stock will eventually recover most of its losses. . Benzinga's survey of 19 analysts has a consensus price of $137.67, and Evercore ISI believes Toll Brothers could go as high as $184. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Barclays, and Oppenheimer provided the most recent price targets, which average $132.67. That means Toll Brothers has some very attractive upside potential for growth investors. It's also worth noting that Toll Brothers is on a five-year streak of increasing shareholder dividends. The company recently announced it will increase its quarterly dividend by 9% to $0.25 per share, which will be paid out on April 11. Shareholders could see an even larger payout if the company's stock continues to rebound and meets analysts' expectations. In other words, this Fortune 500 company stock might offer an ideal combination of growth and passive income potential. It's worth a look if you are hunting for a well-rounded stock with upside. . With over $1 million in dividends paid out last quarter and a growing selection of properties across various markets, Arrived offers an attractive alternative for investors seeking to build a diversified real estate portfolio.

Calculating The Fair Value Of Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL)
Toll Brothers' estimated fair value is US$107 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity With US$109 share price, Toll Brothers appears to be trading close to its estimated fair value Analyst price target for TOL is US$147, which is 36% above our fair value estimate Today we'll do a simple run through of a valuation method used to estimate the attractiveness of Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL) as an investment opportunity by estimating the company's future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. We will use the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model on this occasion. Before you think you won't be able to understand it, just read on! It's actually much less complex than you'd imagine. Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company's value, and a DCF is just one method. If you still have some burning questions about this type of valuation, take a look at the Simply Wall St analysis model. View our latest analysis for Toll Brothers We are going to use a two-stage DCF model, which, as the name states, takes into account two stages of growth. The first stage is generally a higher growth period which levels off heading towards the terminal value, captured in the second 'steady growth' period. To start off with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value: 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$1.60b US$1.16b US$925.1m US$803.5m US$736.2m US$699.1m US$680.2m US$673.0m US$673.5m US$679.4m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x1 Analyst x2 Est @ -19.95% Est @ -13.14% Est @ -8.38% Est @ -5.04% Est @ -2.70% Est @ -1.07% Est @ 0.08% Est @ 0.88% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 9.0% US$1.5k US$973 US$715 US$570 US$479 US$418 US$373 US$339 US$311 US$288 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$5.9b We now need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all the future cash flows after this ten year period. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 2.8%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 9.0%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$679m× (1 + 2.8%) ÷ (9.0%– 2.8%) = US$11b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$11b÷ ( 1 + 9.0%)10= US$4.8b The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is US$11b. To get the intrinsic value per share, we divide this by the total number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$109, the company appears around fair value at the time of writing. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out. The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. You don't have to agree with these inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Toll Brothers as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 9.0%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.436. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. Strength Earnings growth over the past year exceeded the industry. Debt is not viewed as a risk. Dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows. Weakness Earnings growth over the past year is below its 5-year average. Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Consumer Durables market. Opportunity Annual earnings are forecast to grow for the next 3 years. Good value based on P/E ratio compared to estimated Fair P/E ratio. Threat Annual earnings are forecast to grow slower than the American market. Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. The DCF model is not a perfect stock valuation tool. Preferably you'd apply different cases and assumptions and see how they would impact the company's valuation. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. For Toll Brothers, there are three pertinent aspects you should assess: Risks: For example, we've discovered 1 warning sign for Toll Brothers that you should be aware of before investing here.

Luxury homebuilder says more than 70% of business is from wealthy move-ups and empty nesters with years of home price appreciation. The rest are rich millennials
Home prices and mortgage rates are high but haven't hampered demand for what Toll Brothers calls its 'luxury niche.' That niche is made up of empty nesters, rich millennials, and wealthy buyers who are inoculated from housing market swings. More than half-a-century-old luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers has its wealthy homebuyers to thank for pushing it through a housing market at a standstill. Home prices soared throughout the pandemic, and mortgage rates that hit rock bottom reached levels unseen in decades after scorching inflation sent the Federal Reserve into a tightening cycle. Economic conditions have changed, but home prices and mortgage rates are still high. It really hurts typical Americans, but the rich or anyone who has owned a home before are somewhat insulated for a couple of reasons. They are either unaffected by mortgage rates because they can buy a house in all cash (about 26% of Toll Brothers buyers paid all cash in the first quarter of the year); they can pull from their prior home that appreciated immensely over the past several years; or they simply have a high enough income to carry them through tough housing costs (the loan-to-value ratio for Toll Brothers buyers who took on a mortgage was about 68%, meaning they are putting down more than the median). 'Demand for our homes continues to be supported by our affluent customer base,' Toll Brothers chief executive and chairman Douglas Yearley said in an earnings call on Wednesday. 'Over 70% of our business is luxury move-up and empty nester, which serves a wealthy cohort that has benefited from years of home price and stock market appreciation. The remaining 25% to 30% serves the more affluent first-time buyer, many of whom are older millennials buying their first home later in life when they have higher incomes and are more financially secure.' It's why Yearley is confident in the newly constructed home market ahead. 'We continue to see the long-term outlook for the new home market to be very positive, particularly for our luxury niche,' he said. Throughout this latest bust in the housing world, the new home market has topped the existing home market. Builders can craft smaller homes and offer price cuts, mortgage rate buydowns, and design upgrades, among other incentives that have helped offset drops in demand because of inflated costs. Not to mention, the existing home market is constrained by homeowners who refuse to sell and give up their low mortgage rate in exchange for a much higher borrowing cost, a phenomenon dubbed the lock-in effect. So all roads lead to a newly built home. That doesn't mean Toll Brothers was exempt from the pain. Yearley explained that affordability constraints did put some pressure on sales, especially in lower-tier markets or lower-end priced homes. But in all of California, for instance, demand was strong. Toll Brothers' net income and earnings per share came in below expectations, but according to Yearley, it was primarily because of impairments and a delay in the sale of a stabilized apartment. Its core homebuilding operations, on the other hand, met expectations. In the first quarter of the year, the homebuilder delivered 1,991 homes at an average price of around $925,000, creating home sales revenues of $1.84 billion. Toll Brothers reported that it signed 2,307 net contracts for $2.31 billion in the first quarter, up in units and dollars compared to last year. It owns enough land for more development, too, the company said. Still, Toll Brothers shares fell almost 6% today on the news. This story was originally featured on
