D.R. Horton's 84.81% Volume Surge Elevates It to Top 500 Stock Rank

On August 13, 2025, D.R. Horton (DHI) reported a trading volume of $0.83 billion, marking an 84.81% increase compared to the previous day. The stock closed higher, reflecting strong market activity relative to its peers.

A recent SEC filing revealed a proposed sale of 1,233 shares of D.R. Horton common stock through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. on the NYSE. The transaction, valued at $204,925, involves shares acquired from restricted stock lapses on March 12 and March 21, 2025. The filing states no sales occurred in the past three months, indicating limited immediate selling pressure from insiders.

While the proposal outlines clear transaction details, including broker, share count, and acquisition dates, administrative gaps persist. Key fields such as filer identification and notice dates remain unspecified, potentially limiting transparency for third-party verification. However, the disclosure of equity compensation origin and no prior sales aligns with regulatory reporting standards, offering investors clarity on the transaction’s legitimacy.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a compound annual growth rate of 6.98%. The approach faced a maximum drawdown of 15.46% during the period, with mid-2023 volatility underscoring the need for risk mitigation in high-turnover strategies.
