D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI)

Homebuilder, counted by business and function. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending September 30, 2025, filed November 19, 2025. Ranked 17 of the 161 Consumer Cyclical companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing counts 14,341 employees by business, 9,972 in homebuilding, 2,967 in financial services, 586 corporate, 433 at Forestar and 330 in rentals, so every pattern is a counted part.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 25% now, 37% at the end of 2027, 41% at the end of 2028, 42% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 42% desk work, 20% people work and 38% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 57% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 33% becomes checking a model's work and 8% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

5 sentences in the filing name AI. Five sentences: the company uses artificial intelligence among its information technology for operations and marketing, and risk factors name AI-written phishing and the cost of meeting AI laws.

• “We use information technology and other computer resources, including artificial intelligence, to carry out important operational and marketing activities and to maintain our business records.”
• “With the use of artificial intelligence, these phishing attacks may contain highly convincing language making them difficult to distinguish from legitimate messages.”
• “We may also be required to incur significant costs to protect against damages caused by information technology failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the failure to satisfy privacy, data protection, and artificial intelligence laws and regulations in the future as legal requirements continue to increase.”
• “The European Union and other international regulators, as well as state governments, have enacted or enhanced privacy, data protection, and artificial intelligence regulations, such as the California Privacy Rights Act and the Colorado Privacy Act, and other governments are considering establishing similar or stronger protections.”
• “However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade systems change frequently and increasingly leverage sophisticated technologies such as artificial intelligence, they often are not recognized until launched against a target.”
