As of October 19, 2026, CoStar Group Inc scores 4.8 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is CoStar Group Inc’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Among the 84 Real Estate companies with a published score, that ranks at the 43rd percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 5.2, and the best quarter starts from 5.9. CoStar Group Inc is in line with that typical reading.
Profitability scores 2.0 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 80 Real Estate companies is 4.8, so CoStar Group Inc is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 19th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.
Solvency scores 9.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 34 Real Estate companies is 3.7, so CoStar Group Inc is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 91st percentile. Strong solvency points to a balance sheet that can carry its debts comfortably, with interest well covered and little pressure from creditors.
On growth, CoStar Group Inc scores 2.7, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 5.2 across 74 Real Estate companies, which places it well below them, at the 14th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
CoStar Group Inc’s efficiency score is 6.9 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.4 among 80 Real Estate companies, that is above the group and the 62nd percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
CoStar Group Inc’s predictability score is 4.9 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.9 among 83 Real Estate companies, that is in line with the group and the 51st percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
The gap between CoStar Group Inc’s best and worst pillar is wide: solvency at 9.0 against profitability at 2.0, 7.0 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
Closing the gap on profitability would do the most for the overall. At the median of Real Estate companies, 4.8, CoStar Group Inc would score about 5.5 instead of 4.8. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and CoStar Group Inc has a reading on every pillar.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
