Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending July 25:
Ensign Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENSG#NASDAQ">ENSG</a>): The healthcare services company saw strong interest from readers during the week after reporting second-quarter financial results. The company beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share. Ensign Group also raised full-year guidance for both earnings per share and revenue after the report.
"Our local teams achieved another outstanding quarter, raising the bar again for what is possible, even in a quarter where we historically have experienced more seasonality. The clinical results they achieved continue to be the primary driver of our success," Ensign CEO Barry Port said.
The company saw strong results for its same store occupancy and also acquired new operations that Port said will help with "long-term upside." Ensign's portfolio consists of 348 healthcare operations, including 31 that are also senior living operations, in 17 states. The company owns 146 real estate assets, with 110 being operated by an Ensign affiliate.

IonQ Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>): The quantum computing sector continues to be hot for investors and IonQ was searched by an increased number of readers during the week.

Hims &amp; Hers Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>): The telehealth company saw strong interest from readers during the week. Shares traded lower in June after the company announced it would no longer be working with Novo Nordisk, losing direct access to Wegovy. Shares have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46586702/whats-going-on-with-hims-hers-stock-wednesday">rebounded in July </a>ahead of the company's second-quarter earnings report set for Aug. 4. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings per share of 15 cents, up from 6 cents per share in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly revenue of $549.8 million, up from $315.7 million in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in more than 10 straight quarters. While this figure would be a beat, it would mark the first time the company didn't grow revenue on a quarter-over-quarter basis in some time. Truist recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HIMS/analyst-ratings">maintained a Hold rating</a> on the stock and increased the price target from $45 to $48. Shares remain up over 100% year-to-date in 2025.

It was a quiet Tuesday on Wall Street, as major indexes edged lower with investors pausing ahead of a critical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">wave of tech earnings.</a>
By midday trading in New York, the S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.1% and the Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.5%, pulling back after hitting fresh all-time highs on Monday. The Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 0.6%.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) dropped more than 8% on a double miss, and General Motors Co.

Health care led sector gains, while tech stocks lagged, as attention turns to earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) which are slated to report earnings on Wednesday. 
On the macro front, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. will meet with Chinese officials next week to continue trade negotiations. That raised hopes for an extension to the August 12 China tariff deadline.
In the bond market, the 10-year Treasury yield fell for a fifth straight session to 4.33%, its lowest level in over a week. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index dropped 0.4%, extending its slide for a third day.
Gold climbed 0.9% to $3,420 per ounce, the highest since June 16, as uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's independence and Chair Jerome Powell's future fueled safe-haven demand.

PulteGroup shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 EPS results

Rising interest rates and economic uncertainties are reshaping the landscape for homebuilders, challenging companies to adapt their strategies. As the housing market navigates these shifts, PulteGroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>) stands out with its latest financial performance, revealing both the pressures and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46539238/pultegroup-reports-second-quarter-2025-financial-results">opportunities within the sector.</a>
PulteGroup shares traded higher Tuesday after the homebuilder reported mixed financial results for the second quarter of 2025.
The company posted adjusted earnings of $3.03 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $3.00. Revenue came in at $4.40 billion, slightly below analysts' expectations of $4.41 billion.
Home sale revenue declined 4% year over year to $4.27 billion, driven by a 6% drop in closings to 7,639 homes. The decrease was partially offset by a 2% rise in the average selling price to $559,000. Home sale gross margin was 27.0%, down from 29.9% a year ago, but in line with company guidance.
Net new orders fell to 7,083 homes from 7,649 in the prior-year quarter, with the dollar value of new orders declining to $3.9 billion from $4.4 billion. The company ended the quarter with a backlog of 10,779 homes valued at $6.8 billion.
SG&amp;A rose to 9.1% of revenue, reflecting inflation and the absence of prior-year benefits. Financial services income declined to $43 million due to lower closings.

PulteGroup finished the quarter with $1.3 billion in cash and reduced its debt-to-capital ratio to 11.4%. During the period, the company repurchased 3 million shares for $300 million at an average price of $100.54 per share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, PulteGroup reported net cash provided by operating activities of $421.73 million, down from $657.26 million in the same period a year earlier — a 36% year-over-year decline.
"Our disciplined business practices continue to deliver strong results in a competitive housing environment," CEO Ryan Marshall said. "We're encouraged by improving consumer activity in response to recent pullbacks in interest rates."
Looking ahead, Marshall said PulteGroup has strategically aligned home production and land investment with current demand, positioning the company to "retain and grow our market share as demand strengthens in the future."
PHM Price Action: PulteGroup shares were up 3.28% at $112.21 during premarket trading on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to Benzinga Pro.</a>

Earnings Preview For PulteGroup

President Donald Trump is back on his trade war horse, announcing plans to implement 50% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/07/46322995/trump-copper-tariff-mining-stocks">tariffs on imported copper</a> on August 1st.

With mortgage rates still at their highest in decades and other tariffs on lumber and steel already weighing on the construction industry, homebuilders may struggle to withstand another blow, let alone a knockout punch like 50% tariffs on copper. It&#8217;s worth noting that more than 60% of the copper used in the U.S. is imported.
Adding insult to injury is a slowdown in home price growth (just 1.3% in June, the lowest in two years), with outright declines in markets in the South and West. Homebuilders are under pressure, and these five stocks could be assets to avoid this summer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Pressure Is Building—Matt Maley's Trading Plan Is Ready</h2>
The perfect storm is forming: earnings momentum, rising tariff threats, and a Fed wildcard. Matt Maley is tracking fast-moving setups and quietly oversold names that could pop—and on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET, he's revealing it all. Don't wait for headlines to hit. Grab your spot <a href="https://events2.benzinga.com/matt-maley-webinar-sun-july20-2025-registration/?utm_campaign=webinar072025&amp;utm_adType=sponsorad&amp;utm_ad=RD071925">HERE</a> before this session fills up.
Here are five homebuilding stocks to consider selling due to the latest tariff threat.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">D.R. Horton</h2>
D.R. Horton (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) is no stranger to housing headwinds, as the company missed on EPS and revenue and revised down its full-year 2025 guidance projections during its April earnings report. The quarterly EPS figure of $2.58 represented a dip of more than 25% year-over-year (YoY). Despite a vast portfolio and a diverse market across 36 states, the largest U.S. homebuilder by volume received multiple downgrades and lowered price targets following its earnings release. The chart below suggests more potential trouble ahead.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXebKzejT9GcFcQwFAwLBiqgda5xQc4L4_bD_CKx3oEg_Hy8G0fHbcuw4TZza2q7uHGokSH9LsLrINjxA35wDyaPyoDRn0Vtb2iKuSqkw2l3DpuBwU12a9IGYw7xclNpRARSMbDIEw?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
The dreaded Death Cross formed on the daily chart just before the calendar flipped to 2025, and the stock is currently down more than 6% year-to-date (YTD). Investors hoping the stock had found a bottom were likely dismayed by the price rejection at the 200-day moving average. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has returned to its May levels. Unless shares can puncture the 200-day MA, the price momentum will likely continue to tilt to the downside.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">M/I Homes</h2>
M/I Homes (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHO#NYSE">MHO</a>) has evolved from a small regional firm into a $3 billion company, focusing on single-family homes in markets across 13 states. However, the Southern market in Florida and the Carolinas has been looking shakier lately, and the company's Q1 2025 results were an ugly miss on both EPS and revenue. The $976 million revenue figure was the lowest since Q3 2023 and represented a YoY decline of more than 7%. M/I also runs tighter margins than larger competitors, such as D.R. Horton and Lennar, giving it less room to absorb tariff costs.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeiIMyIBysX06pTT-qoXtzPrR0r0OxtKAXvLn3K5TEgfXEgcbXXqGlEmw1z5Rh9WZr7fPTBeBsI_Xuq8Op7gAfPBRJvS85gqcPi6jmjGT4Ytoex263PPXXqQVkj9B8j-fu7bEMw2g?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
Another dreaded bearish signal has appeared on the MHO chart as well, the Head and Shoulders pattern. The Head and Shoulders is a trend reversal signal characterized by two similar peaks sandwiched between a higher peak, with the ‘neckline' acting as a potential support level. This pattern on the MHO chart suggests that the price may drop back under the neckline around the $100 level, and possibly further if support can't hold.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PulteGroup</h2>
PulteGroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>) is a homebuilding behemoth with a $22 billion market cap, nearly $18 billion in annual sales and operations across the country. PHM posted a top and bottom line beat on its Q1 2025 earnings report, but that didn't stop analysts from lowering their price targets as new orders fell 7% YoY and the company reduced its home delivery guidance to under 60,000 and trimmed gross margin expectations for the second half of 2025.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXckEojxF2fvHpfn0sIta_NXqEIfHLiet3REYy3_egzGYb5rBeWQ9VGkvknAwlYFhhUwGDX4xtO335fi0JqVzbplis7bIHxEpViet-9tbivGcnpg7fxJMJSzsAp0c9STmV-ZF-kHeg?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
The PHM chart shows a double whammy: a Death Cross plus a Head and Shoulders pattern indicating a potential reversal in the long-term uptrend. The stock's upward advancement was recently rejected at the 200-day MA as the RSI briefly hit the Overbought threshold of 70. PHM has an earnings catalyst approaching on July 22 that investors should closely monitor.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lennar Corp.&nbsp;</h2>
Second in size only to D.R. Horton, Lennar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) builds homes across the United States, with annual sales exceeding $35 billion. Lennar's diversified portfolio and focus on affordable, first-time single-family homes leave it somewhat more susceptible to tariffs and market-specific slowdowns in the West and South. Lennar reported Q2 earnings in June, missing EPS expectations while beating revenue projections. However, the revenue figure represented a more than 4% YoY drop, and gross margins continue to compress.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfvPAOACN6HZaldrevTIQkB1cNv2nUUsDtTMiuCkd2Dlq8Vul-OsL2Di3UpOOd6-7VmKVqH4dXvjpqQp-zZyLJFK1xqa8ECn6a987l9luu5_ogpDdckUJjRgsYnpXdFECM-q6suaw?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
LEN shares have been rangebound since the worst of Trump's tariffs were postponed, but there's evidence the next big move will be a downward one. The downtrend that began last September has lost steam but remains intact, and the RSI indicates that any potential reversal momentum is weakening. Long-term downtrends often require volume and momentum to break, and the LEN chart is currently showing the opposite.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferguson Enterprises</h2>
As the largest U.S. plumbing supplier and second-largest HVAC equipment supplier, Ferguson Enterprises (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FERG#NYSE">FERG</a>) is a &#8220;‘picks and shovels'&#8221; homebuilding play that could be hit especially hard by copper tariffs. Copper is incorporated into nearly every product Ferguson manufactures and distributes. While it has a steady business segment in commercial projects, its heavy reliance on residential homebuilding customers could put significant pressure on the company's gross margins.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeg48DYRJXcUoAw5Jh2qdzt1A7PZ-7m0CHZD-25sX8JPWbgb6uupqLzK9wN4pvu6LfG5ib54kGzRLwJ1tPEnGth-YUUYvXz80ZzgWqQRLZi-8hE7_CVMLWIZ-n0_z9yM9acrvvB?key=wf-txSbPwBclfIWs9uBZyQ" alt="" /></figure>
FERG may also have the most concerning chart of any company on our list today. After nearly doubling in 2023, the stock stalled repeatedly around the $215 level throughout 2024. This pattern has unfortunately continued into 2025, with the stock getting stuck at the same resistance level a fourth time following a post-tariff rally into July. The RSI also indicates fading momentum following an Overbought signal, a trend shift that may not be reflected in the stock's current price. A gap fill back to $180 in the next few weeks wouldn't be surprising considering recent history.
