PulteGroup Inc., the best performer in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index last year, said fourth- quarter profit quadrupled as the home-builder’s sales increased amid a U.S. real estate revival.

Net income was $58.7 million, or 15 cents a share, compared with $13.8 million, or 4 cents, a year earlier, the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan-based company said today in a statement. Revenue climbed to $1.57 billion from $1.26 billion.
