Investing.com - BMO Capital has raised its price target on CoStar Group (NASDAQ:CSGP) to $89.00 from $82.00 while maintaining a Market Perform rating on the real estate data provider’s stock. The stock currently trades at $90.55, surpassing its previous 52-week high of $86.59.

The firm cited CoStar’s second-quarter 2025 results, which exceeded expectations with solid revenue growth of 11.28% over the last twelve months, though noted this was partially driven by expense timing rather than purely operational improvements. The company maintains a strong financial position with a current ratio of 6.01, indicating robust liquidity management.

BMO highlighted accelerating net new bookings activity across CoStar’s platforms, particularly in Apartments.com and Homes.com membership additions, while noting the latter’s growth was likely already factored into the stock’s recent performance.

The analyst report also pointed to solid bookings growth in CoStar’s Suite, LoopNet (NASDAQ:LOOP), and Other Marketplaces segments, showing broad strength across the company’s product portfolio.

CoStar has raised its 2025 guidance based on strength in Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) and Residential revenues along with effective cost management, though BMO noted that some consensus metrics like adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA were already aligned with the new outlook.
