CoStar Group reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.32, beating the consensus estimate of $0.286 by nearly 12%. Revenue came in at $925 million, just a fraction below the $929 million estimate — a marginal miss that did little to overshadow the more significant story playing out at the profitability level.
The headline development this quarter was Homes.com reaching Adjusted EBITDA profitability in the residential segment for the first time, producing a $41 million sequential swing that helped push overall Adjusted EBITDA past $184 million. That figure represents more than a doubling compared to the same quarter a year ago, a milestone that signals CoStar's heavy investment in building Homes.com into a residential real estate platform is beginning to convert into bottom-line results.
