Key CoStar Group News Here are the key news stories impacting CoStar Group this week:
Positive Sentiment: CoStar reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $0.32 per share, above the $0.29 consensus estimate, while revenue increased 18.4% year over year to $925 million. Net income rose sharply, adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, and the residential segment became profitable, signaling improving operating leverage. CoStar Group Q2 2026 Results Positive Sentiment: Full-year 2026 EPS guidance of $1.32 to $1.39 is above the roughly $1.29 analyst consensus, which may support the longer-term investment case despite near-term concerns. Net new bookings also rose 3% sequentially to $69 million. Positive Sentiment: JPMorgan, BTIG and Needham maintained bullish ratings, although each lowered its price target. Their revised targets still imply substantial upside from recent trading levels, suggesting analysts view the selloff as excessive relative to CoStar’s growth prospects. Neutral Sentiment: Apartments.com reported that U.S. apartment rents were essentially flat in July, rising 0.03% to a national average of $1,747. The eighth consecutive monthly increase is modestly encouraging for CoStar’s residential marketplace, but the limited growth indicates a muted near-term housing backdrop. Apartments.com July 2026 Rent Growth Report Negative Sentiment: Third-quarter revenue guidance of $935 million to $945 million and EPS guidance of $0.31 to $0.34 are below consensus expectations of $970.1 million and $0.36, respectively. The outlook raises concerns about slower growth and contributed to the negative reaction following earnings. Negative Sentiment: Several firms reduced their targets, including JPMorgan to $52, BTIG to $42, Needham to $40, Citizens JMP to $35 and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods to $29. The cuts reflect lower near-term estimates and reinforce investor concerns about CoStar’s high valuation and execution risk.

Factors to Note Ahead of CSGP's Q2 ResultsCoStar Group's second-quarter performance is likely to have been driven by continued strength across its portfolio of digital real estate marketplaces, including Apartments.com, LoopNet and Homes.com.
Strong momentum across the commercial and residential businesses is expected to have supported top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter. Commercial revenues are expected to be in the range of $479-$484 million, reflecting 7-9% growth from the year-ago quarter, while residential revenues are projected at $443-$448 million, indicating a robust 32-34% increase year over year. The residential segment is also expected to have returned to profitability, highlighting improving operating leverage from Homes.com and Apartments.com.
The commercial segment is poised to benefit from new product rollouts and international expansion. CoStar plans to launch its New Homes platform and commence operations in France in the to-be-reported quarter, while LoopNet's nationwide rollout of asset-based pricing is expected to increase listings, advertiser adoption and revenues. Matterport's expanding enterprise pipeline and deeper integration across CoStar's platforms are also likely to support commercial growth.
Homes.com is expected to have remained a key growth driver, supported by rising subscriber additions, higher agent engagement and attractive returns on investment for members. Integration with Apartments.com is likely to have enhanced cross-platform traffic and monetization, while the rollout of Apartments AI ahead of the Apartmentalize conference is expected to have strengthened customer engagement. Improving sales productivity from representatives hired during 2025, coupled with stronger contributions from field sales teams across Homes.com, Apartments.com, LoopNet and Matterport, is likely to have supported bookings and revenue growth.
However, persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, elevated interest and mortgage rates, and sluggish commercial real estate activity are expected to have remained headwinds.

Rossmann, CoStar Group's Managing Director, Europe, brings more than two decades of financial and operational leadership — over the past two years reducing the Company's European cost structure by 25% while delivering double-digit revenue growth and launching CoStar in France
ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, and analytics in the property markets, today announced the appointment of Robin Rossmann as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 31, 2026, succeeding Christian Lown, who is stepping down to pursue an opportunity outside the Company's industry. Rossmann will report to Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group.
Rossmann will lead CoStar Group's global finance organization, overseeing the Company's financial and operational performance, capital allocation, financial planning and investor engagement as CoStar Group continues to expand its global platforms, increase profitability and create long-term value for shareholders.
Rossmann currently serves as CoStar Group's Managing Director, Europe, and is a member of the Company's executive leadership team. Over the past two years, he has distinguished himself by dramatically improving the margins of CoStar Group's European business — eliminating approximately $51 million in costs, roughly 25% of the European cost structure — while delivering double-digit revenue growth and launching CoStar in France. Rossmann joined STR in 2016, leading its businesses across EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and became part of CoStar Group through the Company's acquisition of STR in 2019. Over the past decade with STR and CoStar Group, he has played a central role in launching CoStar Group products across global markets, executing and integrating acquisitions, scaling international operations and advancing strategic initiatives that have strengthened the Company's competitive position.
"Robin is a rare executive who combines deep financial expertise with proven operating leadership and a demonstrated ability to dramatically reduce costs while accelerating growth," said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. "During his time with CoStar Group, he has consistently delivered outstanding operating performance across our international businesses — driving strong organic revenue growth, expanding margins, successfully integrating acquisitions and launching our products in new markets. Robin knows our business, strategy and culture exceptionally well, and is deeply respected across our leadership team. I look forward to partnering with him as we sharpen our focus on margin expansion and profitable growth."
"CoStar Group has built one of the strongest and most differentiated real estate technology companies in the world," said Rossmann. "I am honored to assume the role of Chief Financial Officer at such an exciting point in the Company's evolution. I look forward to partnering with Andy, our leadership team and our employees to drive disciplined capital allocation, enhance operational efficiency, expand margins and support continued profitable growth while delivering long-term value for our shareholders."
Prior to joining STR, Rossmann, a Chartered Accountant, spent 13 years at Deloitte, where he served as a Senior Director advising many of the world's leading public and private real estate and hospitality companies across the United States, the United Kingdom and other international markets. His experience included financial assurance, internal controls and risk management, financial and commercial due diligence, capital markets transactions, debt advisory, valuation, business planning and investment appraisal.
Lown will step down as Chief Financial Officer effective July 31, 2026. His departure was not the result of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
"On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire CoStar Group team, I want to thank Chris for his contributions during his tenure with the Company," said Florance. "We appreciate his service and wish him continued success in his future endeavors."

CoStar spustila svou vlajkovou platformu ve Francii po akvizici BureauxLocaux a Business Immo. Francouzská databáze pokrývá více než 290 000 nemovitostí, 385 000 komerčních nájemců a 90 000 aktivních nabídek nemovitostí.
Key Takeaways CoStar launched its flagship platform in France after acquiring BureauxLocaux and Business Immo. The French platform covers 290,000 properties, 385,000 tenants and 90,000 active availabilities. CoStar expects Q2 2026 revenues of $922M-$932M, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate implying 18.95% growth. CoStar Group (CSGP - Free Report) shares have plunged 55.4% year to date (YTD), significantly underperforming the Zacks Computer & Technology sector's return of 14.7%. The drop reflects investor concerns surrounding elevated investments in Homes.com and stiff competition against the likes of Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com as well as a challenging commercial real estate market. These factors have weighed on near-term profitability despite CSGP’s continued double-digit revenue growth.
However, CoStar remains focused on expanding its global real estate ecosystem. On Thursday (July 2), CoStar launched its flagship CoStar platform in France, expanding its commercial real estate intelligence platform to one of Europe’s largest commercial real estate markets. The launch builds on the company's acquisitions of BureauxLocaux and Business Immo, together with years of investment in proprietary local research to create one of the most comprehensive commercial property databases in France.
The platform provides investors, brokers, owners, occupiers and lenders with a single interface to curated property records, live property availabilities, verified sales and lease comparables, exclusive industry news and real-time market analytics. At launch, the French platform covers more than 290,000 commercial properties, 385,000 commercial tenants, 90,000 active property availabilities, 75,000 lease activities and sales comparables along with more than 134 market and submarket reports on key markets such as Greater Paris, Lyon and Marseille.
The launch in France strengthens CoStar’s global network. The company has more than 320,000 commercial real estate professionals who subscribe to its platform, offering French customers access to international commercial property markets and its subscribers the ability to evaluate investment opportunities in France seamlessly. The launch is expected to deepen customer engagement, expand cross-border subscription opportunities and strengthen CoStar's long-term recurring revenue growth.
International Expansion Strengthens CoStar's Growth StoryThe France expansion supports CoStar’s strategy of becoming the leading global commercial real estate information and analytics provider. The company has invested more than $5 billion over the past four decades to build its proprietary real estate database, which now tracks approximately 9 million properties, 8 million commercial tenants, 2 million property owners, 7 million lease activities, 5 million sales comparables and more than 15,000 market reports worldwide.
CoStar continues to expand its commercial real estate platform through new data products and AI-powered solutions. The addition of CoStar Rent Benchmark, CoStar New Homes and CoStar Debt Solutions broadens the platform's capabilities across property analytics, residential construction intelligence and commercial lending. These offerings, combined with the company's growing international footprint, are expected to strengthen CoStar's competitive position, deepen customer engagement and support long-term recurring subscription revenue growth.
CSGP Offers Strong Q2 GuidanceCoStar's expanding commercial real estate platform and growing global footprint position the company well for sustained top-line growth. The company expects second-quarter 2026 revenues to be in the range of $922-$932 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2026 revenues is pegged at $929.32 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 19%.
