    We could be hurt if land banks are not able to raise investor funds needed to enable them to supplement finance land acquisitions by Millrose. acquisition to meet out demand.

    In February 2025, we completed the spin-off Millrose, which serves as a source of recycled capital for land acquisitions. However, Millrose does not have the capacity to provide all the land acquisition funding we require, and Millrose's policies will limit its acquisitions to land we expect to use within five years. As a result, we are reliant on additional land banks to acquire at least some of the land that Millrose will not or cannot acquire on our behalf. Most land banks are funds that use financial investor capital to finance land acquisitions. If returns to land bank investors are not sufficient to attract investor funds and land banks are not able to identify alternative sources of funding, we would no longer have access to financing of land acquisitions by land banks. This could significantly impair our ability to carry out our strategy of reducing our inventory of owned land.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We have a stockholder who can exercise significant influence over matters that are brought to a vote of our stockholders.

    Stuart Miller, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, through family and personal holdings of Class B, and to a lesser extent Class A, common stock, has the power to cast approximately 42% of the votes that can be cast by the holders of all our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock combined. This gives Mr. Miller substantial influence regarding the election of our directors and the approval of most other matters that are presented to our stockholders. Mr. Miller's voting power might discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in us, even if we needed the investment to meet our obligations or to operate our business. Also, because of his voting power, Mr. Miller may be able to cause our stockholders to approve actions that are contrary to many of our other stockholders' desires.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our Class B common stock is less liquid than, and has traded at a price substantially lower than that of, our Class A common stock.

    The only significant difference between our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock is that the Class B common stock entitles the holders to ten votes per share, while the Class A common stock entitles holders to only one vote per share. However, for many years, the trading price of the Class B common stock on the NYSE has been substantially lower than the NYSE trading price of our Class A common stock. We believe this is because only a relatively small number of shares of Class B common stock are available for trading, which reduces the liquidity of the market for our Class B common stock to a point where many large investors are reluctant to invest in it. The limited liquidity could make it difficult for a holder of even a relatively small number of shares of our Class B common stock to dispose of the stock without materially reducing the trading price of the Class B common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The trading price for our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock may continue to be volatile.

    The trading price of our stock has at times experienced significant volatility and may continue to be volatile. In addition to the factors discussed in this report, the trading prices of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock have fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate widely, in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among others, developments in our industry, the activities of our peers and changes in broader economic and political conditions and policies in the United States and around the world. These broad market and industry factors could harm the market price of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Other Risks

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
