What the Analysts think about CoStar Group

Analyst projections of the future price of CoStar Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
CoStar delivered an earnings inflection in the second quarter: revenue rose 18% to $925m, adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, and the residential segment became adjusted-EBITDA positive for the first time. Management also raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoint by $30m to $800m. (CoStar Group Investor Relations)
The core commercial business continues to provide a growing recurring base: CoStar revenue rose 9%, subscribers increased 19% to 327,000 with a 93% renewal rate, and LoopNet revenue rose 14%. This gives CoStar dependable earnings support while newer residential products scale. (CoStar Group Investor Relations, Roic AI)
Homes.com is showing early signs of stronger monetisation: revenue rose 66% to $28.5m, subscribers more than doubled to over 36,000, and monthly cancellations fell to 2.4%. The planned Platinum tier could lift revenue per customer by selling higher-value placement and marketing services. (Inman Real Estate News)
CoStar lowered its 2026 revenue guidance to $3.715bn–$3.755bn, while net new bookings fell 26% year on year to $69m in the second quarter. That points to slower near-term demand despite strong cost control and an earnings beat. (CoStar Group Investor Relations, Zacks)
Apartments.com revenue grew 9%, but average revenue per property fell 3.6% as the customer mix shifted towards smaller communities and competitors discounted aggressively. CoStar’s decision to hold pricing protects lead quality, but could limit growth or cost it market share in a weak multifamily market. (Zacks, CoStar Group Investor Relations)
The Homes.com expansion remains an expensive execution test: CoStar cut planned 2026 investment by 35% to about $550m and reduced its inside-sales team by nearly 40% while preparing a new premium advertising tier. Cutting back could slow customer acquisition, but maintaining heavy investment would delay the promised profit improvement. (The Real Deal, Inman Real Estate News)
