M/I Homes (NYSE: MHO), a leading homebuilder, saw its stock plummet by 5.07% in intraday trading on Wednesday, January 29th, despite reporting solid fourth-quarter and record annual results for 2024.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, M/I Homes reported earnings per share of $4.71, slightly missing the analyst consensus estimate of $4.83. However, the company's revenue for the quarter came in at $1.21 billion, surpassing the expected $1.17 billion.

Despite these impressive financial results, M/I Homes' stock experienced a 5.07% plummet during intraday trading on Wednesday, potentially due to investors' concerns or profit-taking after the recent rally. However, the company's management remained optimistic about the industry's strong fundamentals, driven by favorable demographic trends and an undersupply of housing.
