CoStar Group, Inc.

(RTTNews) - CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP) has completed its acquisition of Domain Holdings Australia Limited, one of Australia's top property marketplaces.
The deal combines CoStar's global scale, technology leadership, and pro-agent approach with Domain's strong local brand and deep market expertise.
CEO Andy Florance said the merger aims to create a more balanced marketplace for agents, vendors, and buyers, challenging legacy models that prioritize extracting value over delivering it. He emphasized that CoStar will invest in better tools, content, and user experiences while reducing costs, replicating its success transforming Homes.com in the U.S.
Domain President Jason Pellegrino noted that the partnership will accelerate innovation and expand opportunities for customers while reinforcing Domain's trusted position in the market.
Both companies plan to enhance digital tools, customer solutions, and technology integration to set new standards of fairness, competition, and value in Australia's real estate industry.
CSGP currently trades at $88.57 or 0.89% lower on the NasdaqGS.

CoStar Group Completes Acquisition Of Domain To Reshape Australia's Property Market

Investors eyeing a purchase of CoStar Group, Inc. (Symbol: CSGP) stock, but cautious about paying the going market price of $88.23/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2027 put at the $70 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $4.40. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 6.3% return against the $70 commitment, or a 4.5% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Selling a put does not give an investor access to CSGP's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $70 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless CoStar Group, Inc. sees its shares fall 21% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $65.60 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $4.40 from $70), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 4.5% annualized rate of return.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for CoStar Group, Inc., and highlighting in green where the $70 strike is located relative to that history:
The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the January 2027 put at the $70 strike for the 4.5% annualized rate of return represents good reward for the risks. We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for CoStar Group, Inc. (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $88.23) to be 32%.

In mid-afternoon trading on Thursday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 957,084 contracts, with call volume at 957,084, for a put:call ratio of 0.71 so far for the day, which is above normal compared to the long-term median put:call ratio of .65. In other words, if we look at the number of call buyers and then use the long-term median to project the number of put buyers we'd expect to see, we're actually seeing more put buyers than expected out there in options trading so far today.

President Trump late Tuesday announced a trade deal with Japan, which will impose 15% tariffs on imports from Japan, lower than the previously announced 25% rate set to take effect on August 1. The deal also creates a $550 billion fund for Japan to invest in the US. Japan also agreed to purchase 100 Boeing aircraft, increase its purchases of US rice by 75%, and buy $8 billion in other agricultural products, while raising its defense spending with American firms to $17 billion annually, from $14 billion.
Stocks built on their gains Wednesday afternoon when Bloomberg News reported that diplomats briefed on the situation said the European Union (EU) and the US are progressing toward an agreement that would set a 15% tariff for most imports, lower than the 30% rate President Trump had threatened on EU goods if no trade agreement was reached by August 1.
However, gains in the Nasdaq 100 index were limited due to weakness in auto-related chip makers, led by a -13% plunge in Texas Instruments after company executives on anearnings callsaid there isn’t a “true broad recovery” in the automotive sector, as automotive customers who ship into the US are cautious due to tariffs.
Wednesday’s US economic news was bearish for stocks after June existing home sales fell -2.7% m/m to a 9-month low of 3.93 million, weaker than expectations of -0.7% to 4.00 million.
US MBA mortgage applications rose +0.8% in the week ended July 18, with the purchase mortgage sub-index up +3.4% and the refinancing sub-index down -2.6%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage rose +2 bp to 6.84% from 6.82% in the prior week.
The markets are awaiting President Trump’s August 1 deadline for trade deals to avoid high tariffs. Last Wednesday, Mr. Trump announced that he intends to send a tariff letter to more than 150 countries, notifying them that their tariff rates could be 10% or 15%, effective August 1. Also, Mr. Trump said that a 35% tariff on some Canadian products would take effect on August 1, up from the current 25%.
The markets this week will focus on any tariff news along with the announcement of any new trade deals. On Thursday, weekly initial unemployment claims are expected to climb by +5,000 to 226,000. Also, the July S&P US manufacturing PMI is expected to slip -0.2 to 52.7. Finally, on Thursday, June new home sales are expected to climb +4.3% m/m to 650,000. On Friday, June capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft and parts are expected to increase by +0.2% m/m.
Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 3% at the July 29-30 FOMC meeting and 58% at the following meeting on September 16-17.
The markets are absorbing a heavy slate of quarterly corporate earnings results this week. About one-fifth of the companies in the S&P 500 are expected to report their Q2 earnings results this week. Early results now show S&P 500 earnings are on track to rise +3.2% for the second quarter, better than the pre-season expectations of +2.8% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Also, only six of the eleven S&P 500 sectors are projected to post an increase in earnings, the fewest since Q1 of 2023, according to Yardeni Research.
Overseas stock markets today settled higher on Wednesday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up +1.02%. China’s Shanghai Composite rose to a new 9.5-month high and closed up +0.01%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 rallied to a 1-year high and closed up sharply by +3.51%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) on Wednesday closed down -12.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +4.0 bp to 4.384%. T-notes retreated on Wednesday as global trade tensions eased, which curbed safe-haven demand for T-notes. The US and Japan announced a trade deal late Tuesday, and Bloomberg News reported Wednesday that the US and EU are closing in on a trade deal. Wednesday’s rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high also reduced safe-haven demand for government debt.
Losses in T-notes are contained after US existing home sales fell more than expected to a 9-month low, a dovish factor for Fed policy. T-note prices also garnered support from a decline in the US 10-year breakeven inflation rate to a 1.5-week low Wednesday of 2.379%. In addition, strong demand for the Treasury’s $13 billion auction of 20-year T-bonds was positive for T-notes, as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.79, better than the 10-auction average of 2.57.
European government bond yields on Wednesday moved higher. The 10-year German bund yield rose +5.0 bp to 2.639%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rose +6.6 bp to 4.635%.
Swaps are discounting the chances at 2% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at Thursday’s policy meeting.
US Stock Movers
Power producers rallied Wednesday after PJM Interconnection LLC predicted that the AI boom will prompt businesses and households served by the largest US power grid to spend a record $16.1 billion to ensure electricity supplies, which could support utility profit margins. Talen Energy (TLN) closed up more than +8% and Vistra (VST) closed up more than +5%. Also, NRG Energy (NRG) closed up more than +4% and Constellation Group (CEG) closed up more than +1%.
Weakness in shares of automotive and industrial chipmakers limited gains in the Nasdaq 100, with Texas Instruments (TXN) closing down more than -13% to lead losers in the Nasdaq 100 after company executives on anearnings callsaid there isn’t a “true broad recovery” in the automotive sector as automotive customers who ship into the US are cautious due to tariffs. Also, Microchip Technology (MCHP) closed down more than -6% and ON Semiconductor (ON) closed down more than -4%. In addition, Analog Devices (ADI) closed down more than -3%, and NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) closed down more than -1%.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +1.25% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $771.67 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.14, the EPS surprise was +21.43%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
Here is how CoStar performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Revenues- CoStar: $270.9 million versus $267.89 million estimated by two analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +7.1% change.
Revenues- Information Services: $39.3 million versus $36.74 million estimated by two analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +17.7% change.
Revenues- Other Marketplaces: $74.7 million compared to the $50.2 million average estimate based on two analysts. The reported number represents a change of +139.4% year over year.
Revenues- LoopNet: $75.7 million versus $74.65 million estimated by two analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +8.5% change.
Revenues- Residential: $28.4 million versus $31.02 million estimated by two analysts on average. Compared to the year-ago quarter, this number represents a +8.4% change.
Revenues- Multifamily: $292.3 million compared to the $293.26 million average estimate based on two analysts. The reported number represents a change of +10.6% year over year.
Shares of CoStar have returned +6.2% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +5.9% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"
Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months. Of those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian highlights the one stock set to climb highest.
This top pick is a little-known satellite-based communications firm. Space is projected to become a trillion dollar industry, and this company's customer base is growing fast. Analysts have forecasted a major revenue breakout in 2025. Of course, all our elite picks aren't winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks' Stocks Set to Double like Hims & Hers Health, which shot up +209%.

CoStar (CSGP) Reports Q2 Earnings: What Key Metrics Have to Say

CoStar Group (CSGP) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.17 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.14 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.15 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +21.43%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this commercial real estate information and marketing provider would post earnings of $0.11 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.14, delivering a surprise of +27.27%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
CoStar, which belongs to the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry, posted revenues of $781.3 million for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.25%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $677.8 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
CoStar shares have added about 18.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.2%.
What's Next for CoStar?
While CoStar has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for CoStar was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.22 on $794.3 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.76 on $3.13 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Computers - IT Services is currently in the bottom 38% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Clarivate PLC (CLVT), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2025. The results are expected to be released on July 30.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.18 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -10%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Clarivate PLC's revenues are expected to be $590.76 million, down 9.2% from the year-ago quarter.

CoStar Group, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Let’s see how things might have shaped up for CSGP prior to the announcement.
Factors to Note
CoStar Group’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from a robust portfolio of marketplaces, including Apartments.com, LoopNet and Homes.com.
The growing momentum in Apartments.com, driven by increased traffic and higher advertising spending, is likely to have aided CoStar’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter. CSGP has seen robust revenue growth across its major platform, Apartments.com, and expects 10% revenue growth for the second quarter of 2025.
Homes.com continued to gain traction, reaching 104 million average monthly unique visitors in the first quarter of 2025, according to Google Analytics. Also, Traffic to CoStar Group sites reached 130 million average monthly unique visitors during the quarter. This momentum is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported period.
The strengthening international segment and its highest net new bookings in nearly three years, driven by its revamped sales strategy focusing on broad subscription packages, are expected to have bolstered LoopNet’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. LoopNet’s revenue growth rate is anticipated to be 7% in the second quarter.
However, challenging macroeconomic uncertainties and ongoing headwinds in the commercial real estate market are expected to have affected revenue growth. The Homes.com segment is also anticipated to have experienced low single-digit revenue growth in the second quarter of 2025 due to the impact of first-quarter cancellations.
Acquisitions Boost CSGP’s Q2 Prospects
CoStar Group’s growth trajectory is likely to have been fueled by its consistent acquisition strategy. Its acquisition of Matterport represents a move toward integrating Matterport’s 3D capture technology into CSGP’s real estate marketplaces, thereby enhancing CoStar’s offerings and capitalizing on the growing demand for virtual real estate experiences.
Matterport is expected to have contributed approximately $40 million to second-quarter revenues, with plans to integrate its technology into CoStar’s platforms, enhancing user engagement and reducing cancellations.
