Beazer Homes USA Inc (NYSE: BZH) is a residential homebuilding company that designs, builds, and sells single-family homes across three geographic segments: West, East, and Southeast. Revenue is transactional, generated at closing when a completed home transfers to the buyer. Homebuilding revenue was $2.30B in FY2025 (fiscal year ended September 30, 2025), with land sales and other revenue adding $68.9M, for total revenue of $2.37B. The company closed 4,427 homes in FY2025, down slightly from 4,450 in FY2024. Construction is subcontracted, with Beazer acting as general contractor and developer.
