Movement Alert|Zillow Falls 5.02% in Regular Trading, Multiple Headwinds Continue to Weigh on Shares

Market Focus
Sep 08

On September 8, Zillow fell 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $32.775/share, with turnover of $36.98 million. The real estate services sector declined broadly, with the stock pressured by a confluence of negative factors.

On the news front, Zillow has been facing sustained headwinds. The company previously announced a major organizational restructuring involving layoffs of over 500 employees. UBS slashed its price target on the stock to $50 from $75 while maintaining a Buy rating. On the macro side, Zillow warned that mortgage rates have climbed back to 6.79%, and that July's sales rebound — the strongest monthly performance of the year with a 7% year-over-year increase — may represent the full-year peak, with the housing market facing deceleration risk in the second half.

Additionally, RBC Capital Markets flagged that Zillow's accelerated transition to its postpaid Preferred model is expected to weigh on near-term residential revenue and margins, making results more complex and potentially causing investors to value the company more like a cyclical brokerage business.

Within the Real Estate Services sector, CBRE Group fell 2.42%, CoStar fell 2.62%, KE Holdings fell 4.35%, Jones Lang LaSalle fell 2.05%, and Opendoor fell 0.79%.
