Bulls Say

  • A dominant market position has allowed CoStar Suite to maintain high renewal rates and above-inflation price increases, leading to strong revenue growth.

  • Penetration rates of smaller apartment communities and high-value commercial real estate properties are still quite low on online marketplaces, implying a large addressable market for the multifamily and LoopNet segments.

  • Much of CoStar’s business model is easily scalable, which should allow operating margins to improve as revenue grows. Residential investments have attractive risk/reward dynamics for the firm.

Bears Say

  • Emerging threats such as AI and data-sharing arrangements could have the potential to disrupt CoStar’s core business model. Recent multifamily deals among CoStar's competitors will strengthen Zillow's competitive position.

  • CoStar has a very high-quality business, but its valuation implies market expectations of high revenue growth for many years to come. Failing to live up to the high expectations could lead to a rerating of the stock.

  • CoStar’s recent foray into the residential marketplace may entail significant marketing investments for many years to come, pressuring margins.
