Since their founding in 1950, PulteGroup has delivered many homes throughout the United States. What began as a single home built by the hands and entrepreneurial spirit of their founder Bill Pulte, is today the nation’s third largest homebuilder with operations in many major cities. Marketing under some of the industry’s best known brands: Pulte, Centex, Del Webb, DiVosta, American West, and John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods, they can meet the needs of first-time, move-up and active-adult homebuyers. PulteGroup operates against a stated objective of delivering high returns on invested capital and equity over the housing cycle. Research indicates that high ROIC and ROE are key drivers to creating long-term shareholder value in the homebuilding industry. This focus has helped the Company raise key operating and financial metrics to be among the industry leaders.
