Costar Group (CSGP) has completed its acquisition of Visual Lease, a prominent lease administration and accounting platform. Meanwhile, dampening the spirit, there has been a deceleration in net new sales of Homes.Com, flagging the performance of CSGP. Despite some insider selling activity, the market still regards CSGP with an average recommendation of 'Moderate Buy.'
While the net sale slowdown caused some concern, the company's strong revenue growth amidst market challenges has been encouraging. However, some investors, like DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale, have opted to trim their stock holdings in the company.
Demonstrating investor faith, KP Management LLC and Forsta AP Fonden have increased their stakes in the CSGP. Similarly, the company's CEO, Andrew Florance, purchased 14,731 shares, investing over $1.1 million in company stock.
Although StockNews.com downgraded CSGP to 'sell', others maintain an optimistic outlook citing the company's healthy balance sheet and solid growth outlook. CSGP also reported higher-than-expected Q3 earnings, outdoing estimates by 6 cents. However, the company's stock slid due to a challenging market and elevated expenses. Nonetheless, the structured strategy outlook and robust financial results from Q3 bode well for CSGP's future.
