CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP)

In February 2025, CoStar acquired Matterport for $1.6 billion, and Deutsche Bank initiated coverage with a "Buy" recommendation while Wells Fargo initiated coverage with an "Underweight" recommendation. CoStar Group made an offer to acquire the remaining stake in Domain Holdings Australia Limited for AUD 2.2 billion on February 21, 2025. In March 2025, CoStar Group announced the winners of its fourth annual CoStar Impact Awards. First-quarter 2025 revenue increased 12% year-over-year to $732 million, exceeding revenue guidance, with adjusted EBITDA increasing by 429% from Q1 2024, but the company reported a net loss of $15 million. In May 2025, CoStar entered an agreement to acquire 100% of Domain Group for US$1.92 billion. In June 2025, a federal court found rival CREXi copied and cropped thousands of CoStar's copyrighted images. In July 2025, CoStar Group announced it would report its financial results for the second quarter on July 22, 2025, named Alexa-Maria Rathbone Barker as Head of CoStar for Europe, and Apartments.com released its Multifamily Rent Growth Report for the second quarter of 2025. The stock price has seen a 5.94% rise over the last month, and a 13.02% increase over the last year, with the share price as of July 15, 2025, at $84.09.

While CoStar Group's revenue is generally not seasonal due to its subscription-based services, Apartments.com sees higher sales during the peak summer rental season, and CoStar Suite typically experiences higher sales towards the end of the year. The subscription model provides a stable revenue stream, and the company's multifamily segment benefits from higher vacancy rates.

However, a 2022 report by Business Insider cited claims of excessive monitoring and micromanagement, which CoStar Group denied. Increased sales and marketing expenses in the 2024 fiscal year, particularly on boosting Homes.com, have led to a decline in operating income. In June 2025, a federal court found rival CREXi copied and cropped thousands of CoStar's copyrighted images.
