From CoStar Group's 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC; its fiscal year ends in December. Each period shows the latest figure the company has reported for it, including restatements. Net margin is our own calculation from those reported figures (net income ÷ revenue); it is left blank where revenue is zero or missing. † Quarter derived from the company's year-to-date or full-year totals. Filings on SEC EDGAR →
CoStar Group's latest reported figures next to the median of the other 29 S&P 500 Real Estate companies and of the other 502 S&P 500 companies; each median is taken over the companies with a comparable figure (counts in the footnote). A median is the middle value, not an average, so one very large company does not move it.
| Measure | CoStar Group | Real Estate (29 other S&P 500 companies) | S&P 500 (502 other companies) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue growth, latest fiscal year | +18.7% | +5.1% | +7.0% |
| Net margin, latest fiscal year | 0.2% | 21.5% | 13.0% |
| Share price change, 1 year | −57.0% | −2.1% | +6.9% |
CoStar Group: fiscal year ended December 2025, from its 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC. Medians computed October 21, 2026 from each company's latest annual filing (fiscal years ending between July 2025 and September 2026) and our price archive. Prices for every company, CoStar Group included, are the last regular-session prices of October 20, 2026; the 1-year change compares that price with each company's last close on or before October 21, 2025. Net margin and price change are our calculations from reported figures. Each median counts only the companies with a comparable figure (sector / S&P 500): revenue growth 29/496, net margin 29/496, 1-year price change 29/488; the reasons below can overlap. 14 are left out of the price figure because our archive holds no comparable close for them. The S&P 500 price figure is the middle company's change, not the index's return.
