DHI earnings: an expected move of 5.0%, an actual move of 5.3%.Averages over its last twelve reports. Here are all 17 reports.
Every D.R. Horton earnings report since Nov 2022: the expected move the options priced the day before, how far the stock moved by the close and by 10:00 the next morning, and the IV crush afterwards, how far implied volatility fell. We read option prices from real quotes at 15:46 ET. Definitions on the methodology page.
The options price an earnings move as one number. We take out the drift the stock would have had anyway, then rank what is left, the report’s own part, against DHI’s earlier reports. Both were fixed at 15:46 ET the day before, and the history below does the same for every report.
5.5% quoted, 5.3% of it the report
The options ran two trading sessions, so the quote also carries two days of the drift DHI has anyway: 1.6%. The two combine as squares, not sums, so 5.3 and 1.6 give 5.5. The report is 91% of that expiry’s risk.
Higher than eight of its last twelve
We rank only the report’s part, and only against DHI’s own earlier reports, so a jumpy stock does not read rich for being jumpy. 5.3% is the 67th percentile: neither rich nor cheap for DHI.
Moved 2.5%, inside the 5.3%
+2.5% by the next close, +1.3% by 10:00 the next morning. The rank compares the price with DHI’s past and does not forecast the move.
Inside its priced move after seven of twelve
Past it: Jan 2024 −9.2%, Jul 2024 +10.1%, Oct 2024 −7.2%, Jul 2025 +17.0% and Apr 2026 +5.8%.
+17.0% after the Jul 2025 report
The options had priced 4.2%.
Fell after every one, by 10% to 40%
Median fall 25%, at the strike nearest the price, day before to day after.
Grown: 5.5% over the last four
From 4.7% over the eight before. The report’s own part of the move, with the ordinary drift taken out.

- Rank
- Where the report’s part sits among DHI’s own earlier reports, up to twelve, from 0 to 100: 67 on Oct 29 ’26 means it was priced higher than 8 of the 12 before it. Rich and cheap mark the top and bottom of that range. It needs eight earlier reports with a 10:00 move, so the oldest rows have none.

- How far implied volatility fell in the report’s expiry, from 15:46 ET the day before to the day after: at the new strike ATM and at the old one As-sold. Open reads it from the option’s 10:00 quotes the next morning, and is blank where there was none.

to the closein betweenClosing prices miss the open
If you hold through the report you meet the open, not the close. We publish both: the move from one close to the next, and where the stock stood at 10:00 the next morning.
the reportordinaryOption prices cover more than the report
An expiry a week out also carries a week of ordinary movement. Comparing two expiries that both contain the report separates the two, and the report's share is the priced move.
the one that movedwhat 30 days averageWe measure the expiry that moved
A 30-day average mixes the expiry holding the report with expiries it never reaches, so it reads shallower than what you held. We read the expiry that holds the report, the day before and the day after, at both strikes.
One expiry contains the report. The 30-day figure is an average that also covers expiries the report never reaches. Every column below leans the same way, so the gap shows on each report, not only in the median.
Each row is one report: the band is what the options priced, the mark is where the stock closed, and the bar runs to where it stood at 10:00 the next morning. On 1 of 15 reports with both, the close and 10:00 pointed opposite ways.
Where the 10:00 number is missing, the cell stays blank instead of borrowing the close, and the data-quality grid below says why. How far apart the two run differs from company to company; this window measures it for DHI.
The split reads the report out of the gap between the two lines. The small figure under each date is how many trading sessions the expiry holding the report had left. A shorter one carries the same report over fewer days, so it reads higher without the report being priced any bigger.
Drawn for the last twelve reports, like the other figures on this page. It is history; the current curve is on the board.
Counted over the 17 reports shown. Two markers are on every report (crush expiry substituted and macro event in the window), so they describe DHI rather than any one quarter. The other eight are on between one and seven reports.
Every marker on the reports above is counted here, one cell per report, newest first as in the history table.

Withheld
- no trade at the cover5 of 17
open_crush_no_trade - The option legs did not trade at the 10:00 cover anchor, so the crush there could not be measured. It comes from the tape, not an outage, so it is permanent and counts in the published coverage ratio.
- Lands inOpen
- no 10:00 tape2 of 17
rm_intra_unavailable - The equity minute bars behind the 10:00 anchor do not exist for this session, so the anchor is blank and stays blank. It is never substituted from the opening price: a history with two different anchors mixed together is worse than a shorter one.
- Lands inBy 10:00Open
Shown as measured
- crush expiry substitutedevery report
crush_expiry_substituted - The expiry that would have been measured was not available on both sides of the print, so a neighbouring one stood in. The crush is real; it is measured on a slightly different contract than the label implies.
- Lands inATM
- macro event in the windowevery report
decomp_macro_window - A scheduled macro event (a CPI print, an FOMC day) falls inside the decomposition window, so a little of the volatility attributed to the event belongs to the calendar instead.
- Lands inPriced move
- held to expiry7 of 17
cover_mark_settled - The straddle that was sold expired at one of these closes, so its price there is its settlement value: the distance from the stock to the strike. That exit pays no bid/ask spread, and it ignores the cost of being assigned stock on the in-the-money leg.
- Lands inShort-straddle P&Lon the ticker page, not this one
- next-morning price from quotes7 of 17
open_crush_restruck_quoted - The option at the 10:00 strike did not trade on both sides between 09:55 and 10:05, so the next-morning volatility was read from the midpoint of its quoted bid and ask over the same ten minutes. Used only when both sides were quoted and the quote was less than 50% wide.
- Lands inOpen
- skew contamination5 of 17
crush_skew_contaminated - The gap between the strike sold and where the stock ended up is large enough that the as-sold crush cannot stand in for the comparable one, so this print carries no scored open crush.
- Lands inAccuracy recordon the public record, which does not include this company
- no re-struck cover IV5 of 17
open_crush_restruck_unavailable - The comparable at-the-money volatility could not be read at the 10:00 anchor, so only the as-sold contract is available there.
- Lands inOpen
- noisy IV rank3 of 17
iv_rank_noisy - This name’s quote width is large against its own 52-week volatility range, so the rank carries a read error worth noting. A true property of a quiet name, not a defect — the rank itself is computed normally.
- Lands inIV rankon the ticker page, not this one
- next-morning quote too wide1 of 17
open_crush_restruck_quote_wide - The option at the 10:00 strike did not trade on both sides between 09:55 and 10:05, and its quoted bid and ask were 50% of the midpoint or wider, too wide to read a volatility from. So there is no next-morning read at that strike.
