The brief

CoStar provides subscription-based data, analytics, and online marketplaces for commercial and residential real estate professionals across the U.S., Europe, and other regions. Their platforms cover office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality properties, plus rural land and business sales through brands like LoopNet, Homes.com, Ten-X, and BizBuySell [CoStar Group corporate description].

CoStar Group is a $13.8B real estate data and analytics company that operates platforms like LoopNet, Homes.com, and Apartments.com [Yahoo Finance]. The company grew revenue 18.7% year-over-year to $3.2B, but profitability remains razor-thin with a 0.2% net margin and a stretched 482.9x P/E ratio [Yahoo Finance]. Analysts recently cut price targets by roughly 20% due to concerns about heavy spending on Homes.com and slower-than-expected returns from residential investments [Simply Wall St].

Strong revenue growth but profitability is nearly flat due to aggressive investment spending.

Figures come from company filings and market data. The Sentinellis health score and the wording attached to it are our interpretation of those figures, not numbers the company reported.

Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. Sentinellis holds no positions in the companies it covers, takes no payment from issuers, and has no broker referral arrangements.
