MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

CoStar Group
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in CoStar Group, Inc.:

  • CoStar Group, Inc. demonstrated strong fundamental performance in its most recent quarter, reporting earnings per share of $0.32, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.29 by $0.03, while revenue grew 18.4% year-over-year to $925.00 million, indicating robust demand for its commercial real estate data and analytics services.
  • CEO Andrew C. Florance displayed significant confidence in the company's long-term value by purchasing 83,300 shares at an average cost of $29.89 per share in August 2026, a transaction valued at approximately $2.49 million, which signals insider belief that the stock is undervalued relative to its potential.
  • The company maintains a healthy balance sheet with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13 and a current ratio of 2.21, providing financial stability and liquidity that can support operations and strategic initiatives even during periods of economic uncertainty or market volatility.
  • CoStar Group, Inc. continues to expand its digital footprint and market relevance, as evidenced by the recent appointment of Felix Kusch as President of Homes.com and the integration of its Apartments.com platform into OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra apartment-hunting demo, showcasing its leadership in leveraging technology for real estate marketplaces.
  • With a current stock price of $31.52, the shares are trading near their 52-week low of $25.89, offering a potential entry point for investors who believe in the company's strong revenue growth and market position, especially given that the consensus price target from analysts is significantly higher at $40.11.

CoStar Group
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in CoStar Group, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The stock has experienced a significant decline, trading at $31.52, which is well below its 52-week high of $90.72, reflecting a substantial drop in market valuation that may indicate ongoing concerns about the company's growth trajectory or broader market sentiment toward real estate services.
  • CoStar Group, Inc. carries a high price-to-earnings ratio of 165.90, which suggests that the stock is expensive relative to its current earnings, potentially leaving little room for error if future earnings growth does not meet the high expectations embedded in the valuation.
  • Analyst sentiment has deteriorated recently, with the consensus rating shifting to "Hold" and the consensus price target dropping to $40.11, down from over $90 in late 2025, as firms like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America have lowered their price targets and ratings, reflecting reduced confidence in near-term upside.
  • Institutional investors have been reducing their exposure, with National Pension Service cutting its holdings by 94.0% in the second quarter and NEOS Investment Management LLC trimming its stake by 54.6%, which may signal a lack of institutional conviction in the stock's current price level.
  • The company's revenue for the most recent quarter of $925.00 million slightly missed the consensus estimate of $928.81 million, and its Q3 2026 guidance of $0.310-$0.340 EPS is below the consensus estimate of $0.360, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining the pace of growth expected by the market.
