What this company does
Written from the business description in HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES INC's annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 22 December 2025. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
Growth
Revenue compounded at +4.9% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew slower: net income at +4.6%, earnings per share at +1.1%.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Profitability
Each USD of equity produced 8 cents of profit this year.
The 17-year record
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
