What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of CSGP's valuation, growth and risks.
CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP) trades at 182.78 times trailing earnings, which puts its P/E 308.9% above the Real Estate median of 44.7. The peer comparison on this page calls that a premium to peers. Measured against sales, the P/S of 3.75 sits 63.9% below the sector median P/S of 10.4. The company carries a market value of $14.4B and reported trailing earnings of $0.18 per share.
Revenue in the latest quarter, compared with the same quarter a year earlier, expanded 18.40%. That pace is 7.4 percentage points faster than the sector median growth of 11.0%. CSGP converts sales into earnings with a net margin of 2.08% and an operating margin of 8.22%. Its return on equity of 0.89% is below the sector median of 5.8%, and debt-to-equity stands at 0.15.
Analysts expect CSGP to earn $1.36 per share this fiscal year, a rise of 56.3%. For the year after, the estimate is $1.77, which would be growth of 30.3%.
On a typical day the price of CSGP shifts by 2.94%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns with a beta of 0.80 against the S&P 500. Valuation leaves less margin for error: the P/E of 182.78 is 308.9% above the sector median, a premium to peers. The price is 55.18% below its 52-week high of $79.08. Over the last 18 months, insider sales totalled $7.3M against $8.5M of purchases; planned sales and tax sales on vesting shares make selling a weaker signal than buying.

CleaRank AI analysis of CSGP
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
CSGP is caught between its two moving averages. The stock trades at $35.44, which leaves it 5.68% below its 200-day average of $37.58 while sitting 16.19% above its 50-day average of $30.50. The price stands at 18% of its 52-week range, and it is 36.89% above the 52-week low of $25.89.
Momentum readings are strong right now: the 14-day RSI sits at 75.5, which is in overbought territory, and the MACD line is positive. The longer record tells a different story, though. Over the past month the price climbed 23.18% and over three months it gained 30.58%, yet across the past year it dropped 54.09%. In the last session the price advanced 7.72% on volume that ran 27.9% above its average.

- The two nearest levels matter most here: the 200-day SMA at $37.58 lies above the price, and the 20-day EMA at $30.85 lies below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 75.5 places the stock in overbought territory, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
CSGP has a mixed trend, since the stock sits above its 50-day average at $30.50 yet below its 200-day average at $37.58. Should the price close above the 200-day, both signals would point up. A close below the 50-day would instead point both down. For now, the price is held between the 20-day EMA at $30.85 underneath and the 200-day SMA at $37.58 overhead.
With the RSI in overbought territory, a pause would not end the trend by itself, but a drop back out of the bullish zone would show momentum fading.
