| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was $209.4 million and $406.0 million, respectively, compared to $248.0 million and $506.0 million in the prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 24.1% and 24.4% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, compared to 23.2% in both prior year periods. The effective tax rates for all periods include an expense for state income taxes and tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and federal energy efficient home tax credits. At March 31, 2026, the Company had deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, of $8.4 million, after consideration of a valuation allowance of $14.6 million recorded against certain deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2025, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $44.5 million, after consideration of a valuation allowance of $14.6 million recorded against certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for both periods relates to deferred tax assets for state net operating loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards that are expected to expire before being realized. The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the remaining state NOL and tax credit carryforwards. Reversal of any portion of the valuation allowance in future periods would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.
