On August 7, CoStar rose 5.1% in regular trading, trading at $31.03/share, with turnover of $18.16 million. The stock outperformed the broader real estate services sector, which saw gains of approximately 2-3% across peers.
The movement comes as CoStar continues to benefit from momentum following its Q2 earnings report, which revealed a significant profitability turning point. The company posted adjusted EPS of $0.32, beating the consensus estimate of $0.29 by over 10%, while net income surged 817% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA more than doubled. Revenue grew 18% to $925 million, though slightly below the $928.8 million estimate. Despite Q3 revenue guidance of $935-$945 million coming in below the $967.5 million analyst expectation, the dramatic profit improvement has attracted investor attention. Multiple analysts maintain Buy ratings with price targets ranging from $34 to $45, well above current trading levels, providing further upside support.
