The Quality Score for ZG stands at 3.9 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock in the low quality band. Scores this low usually reflect thin margins, a stretched balance sheet or an erratic record, and the pillars below show which. It rolls Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Ranked with the 80 Communication Services companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 37th percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. A typical company in the group scores 4.6, and the best quarter starts from 6.0. Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock is below that typical reading.
On profitability, Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock scores 2.0, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 3.7 across 77 Communication Services companies, which places it well below them, at the 29th 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.
Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock’s solvency score is 5.2 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.8 among 62 Communication Services companies, that is in line with the group and the 57th percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
Growth has no score for Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median growth score across 64 Communication Services companies is 4.7. Growth needs at least three years of comparable annual statements, so a short or interrupted history leaves it blank.
On efficiency, Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock scores 6.8, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.1 across 76 Communication Services companies, which places it above them, at the 62nd percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
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 A Common 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.
The gap between Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock’s best and worst pillar is wide: efficiency at 6.8 against profitability at 2.0, 4.8 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.
Of everything that could lift Zillow Group, Inc. Class A Common Stock’s score, profitability matters most. Bringing it up to the 3.7 median of Communication Services companies would take the overall from 3.9 to roughly 4.4. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).
