Description: CSGP CoStar December 03, 2025
CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP) operates a diversified suite of commercial-real-estate (CRE) data, analytics, and online-marketplace platforms across North America, Europe, APAC and Latin America. Its core offerings include CoStar Property (property inventory), CoStar Leasing (lease transaction data), CoStar Sales (sale transaction database), CoStar Owners (portfolio details), CoStar Markets (sub-market trend reporting) and CoStar Tenant (tenant profiles). Ancillary solutions such as CoStar Benchmarking, CoStar Lender, and lease-administration technology extend the ecosystem to hotels, lenders, and corporate lease management. The company also runs consumer-facing portals-Apartamentos.com, LoopNet, Homes.com, Ten-X, Land.com and BizBuySell-covering apartments, commercial listings, residential sales, auctioned CRE, rural land, and business sales. Its client base spans brokers, REITs, insurers, asset managers, government agencies, developers, lenders, and a wide array of ancillary service providers.
Key quantitative signals (as of FY 2023) include: • Revenue of roughly **$2.2 billion**, up ~12 % YoY, driven primarily by subscription growth in the CoStar and LoopNet segments (Assumption: figures from the latest 10-K filing). • A **gross margin of ~78 %**, reflecting the high-margin nature of data-as-a-service businesses (base-rate comparison: typical SaaS gross margins 70-80 %). • Operating cash flow exceeding **$800 million**, indicating strong cash conversion despite continued cap-ex on platform enhancements. Macro-level, CRE activity is sensitive to **interest-rate cycles**-lower rates have historically boosted leasing and acquisition volumes, while the current Fed tightening cycle could compress transaction-based revenue streams. Additionally, the **rise of remote-work trends** is reshaping office-space demand, a sector where CoStar’s analytics are increasingly leveraged for risk assessment.
