D.R. Horton reported first-quarter profit and revenue exceeding Wall Street expectations but warned of a decline in second-quarter home sales gross margin due to increased buyer incentives. The company anticipates a gross margin between 19% and 19.5% and revenue between $7.3 billion and $7.8 billion, below analysts' average estimate. Shares fell 1.3% in early trading, with analysts citing margin pressure and weak orders as risks. The company expressed support for government efforts to improve housing affordability.
