Meritage Homes Non-GAAP EPS of $1.11 misses by $0.03, revenue of $1.17B misses by $120M
What it means
- What to watch: This one turns on a concrete figure ($1.11); set it against the recent trend before reading it as a turning point.
- How the stock is trading: $MTH -3.00% in the latest session.
- Timing: Filed after the close: the price beside it finished its day before the story existed, so the next session gets the first real vote.
Where the stock stands
$MTH last traded at $62.02, -3.00% on the session. That puts it 27% shy of its 52-week high of $85.38 and 9.5% clear of its low of $56.66 — in the lower part of the range. Over the year it has ranged 51% from low to high: a wide band — moves of several percent in a week come with the territory. These are latest-session quotes, not live prices — the live tape is on the $MTH page.
How much coverage it is getting
Nothing else on $MTH in the last 30 days: this is the only story Wook has filed, so there is no run to measure it against yet. 12 related stories from the same name or desk are listed beside this one.
The bigger picture
With earnings, the number matters less than the number versus expectations — and guidance often matters more than both. A beat paired with a soft outlook can still get a cold reception. On Wook's supply-chain scanner, Consumer Discretionary reads calm today — no unusual stress in the filings and disclosures it watches. The scanner equivalent of a quiet night shift.
Coming up
$MTH earnings today. These were on the calendar before this story and are not caused by it, but the nearest is close enough that the hard numbers get the last word soon.
What to watch next
The $MTH page has the full chart, the filings and the valuation model behind every figure here. Because one outlet dominates the coverage, reading another outlet on the same story is the quickest check on whether it is being confirmed or just repeated. And Wook AI, up top, will happily do the math — how far $MTH sits from its high, or how this week's coverage stacks up.
How this analysis was made
Seeking Alpha published it, and Wook filed it under Earnings. It reads bearish at medium severity because of “miss” in the wording, with nothing on the bullish side to offset it. It was matched to $MTH. It carried $1.11, $0.03, $1.17 billion and $120 million, shown as published and not recalculated. The publisher gave no preview text, and nothing has been written in to fill the gap.
The tone and severity labels come from a fixed word list — no editor, no AI, no crystal ball — so they describe how a story is worded, not what happens next. They are not a forecast or a recommendation, and a same-day move does not mean this story caused it. Not investment advice.
