On the filings behind it, Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock earns 4.0 out of 10 for business quality as of October 19, 2026. That is mixed quality on our scale. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Among the 80 Communication Services companies with a published score, that ranks at the 41st percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. For reference, the middle of the group scores 4.6 and a company needs 6.0 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock below the median.
Profitability scores 2.0 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 77 Communication Services companies is 3.7, so Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 28th percentile. Weak profitability means the business converts less of its sales and capital into profit than its peers, which can come from thin pricing power, high costs or a temporary squeeze.
Solvency scores 5.6 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 62 Communication Services companies is 4.8, so Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 62nd percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
There is no growth score for Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 64 Communication Services companies the median for this pillar is 4.7. Growth needs at least three years of comparable annual statements, so a short or interrupted history leaves it blank.
Efficiency scores 6.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 76 Communication Services companies is 6.1, so Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 62nd percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Predictability scores 2.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 80 Communication Services companies is 4.5, so Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 15th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.
This is a lopsided profile. Efficiency scores 6.8 but profitability only 2.0, a gap of 4.8 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. An efficiency lead means the operation turns what it has into cash better than it does anything else. A profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is profitability. If it rose to the median of Communication Services companies, 3.7, Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock’s overall score would go from 4.0 to about 4.5. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.
