REA Value Appears to Hinge on Threat From Domain -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jul 17, 2025

0043 GMT - The question of how much value there is in REA Group shares hinges on how fierce a rival Domain turns out to be under its new owner, says Jefferies analyst Roger Samuel. He thinks there could be as much as 20% upside to the News Corp-controlled property advertiser's shares if competitive risks are more benign than feared. Conversely, he sees 11% downside if new owner CoStar can restore Domain's market position. He tells clients in a note that an investigation by competition regulators into alleged price gouging by REA is a non issue. News Corp is the parent company of Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires. Jefferies lifts its target price by 1.7% to A$250.00 and keeps a hold rating on REA. Shares are up 0.9% at A$238.30. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
