Where homebuilder stocks stand now
As of 12 October 2026, Homebuilders (ITB) ranks #85 of the 115 groups Zensei tracks by one-month return against the S&P 500. It is out of favor: it trails the S&P 500 on both rotation windows — 7.4 points behind over the past month and 9.0 points behind over the longer, time-shifted window. That is the Underperformers quadrant.
On the shorter tape, ITB's momentum is weakening: the intraday trend that carried the move is cooling across the shorter windows. ITB's relative-strength line has broken below its long-term average — the long-term outperformance trend is no longer intact. Both signals point the same direction here: the market is not rewarding this group on either horizon.
The exposure comes via iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF, whose 43 tracked holdings are led by D.R. Horton Inc, Pultegroup Inc and Lennar Corp. Weighted by portfolio, the fund's holdings trade at roughly 15.1× earnings. The thing to watch from here is the one-month spread: underperformers only become interesting when the recent window turns positive first — until then, the market is voting elsewhere.
