No dividend / yield n/a · REITs are valued on FFO / AFFO, which our data source doesn't provide — we grade income, growth, and sector-relative leverage instead.

Forward price target — the 1-year figure is the analyst consensus where the stock is covered; the 5- and 10-year figures compound our earnings estimate from there. The DCF below is a separate cross-check on intrinsic value (what it's worth today), not another target.

Why now
Real Estate Services · market cap $11.9b. Down 70% from 52-week high of $97.43 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +19%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.11 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 20 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $47.50 (implying +63% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Down 70% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 0.7% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 0% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
Horizon
1-3 yr $47.50 (20-analyst consensus) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $83.08 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $210.68 — return distribution heavily skewed.

CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP): score, valuation & FAQ
CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP) is a Real Estate Services company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are D/E (A) and Rev (B+). On valuation, CSGP sits about 73% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value (i.e. the DCF flags it as rich).
Is CSGP a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings grades CSGP on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by D/E (A) and Rev (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of CoStar Group, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
How does Bull Rankings grade CSGP?
As a bank, insurer or REIT, CSGP isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on D/E (A) and Rev (B+).
Is CSGP overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $29.19, CSGP sits about 73% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value (i.e. the DCF flags it as rich). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in CSGP?
Down 70% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 0.7% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 0% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
