RBC Capital Reiterates Sector Perform on CoStar Group, Maintains $83 Price Target

Following a nine-month legal battle and facing the prospect of court-imposed sanctions, Move has dismissed its lawsuit with prejudice, bringing the closely watched case to a decisive end
CoStar Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGP#NASDAQ">CSGP</a>) a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the commercial and residential property markets, announced today that it has prevailed in a baseless trade secrets lawsuit brought by Move, Inc., the Rupert Murdoch-owned operator of Realtor.com.
In July 2024, Move filed a federal complaint accusing CoStar Group and former Move employee James Kaminsky of trade secret misappropriation. Move's core allegation—that Kaminsky had been hired by CoStar Group to launch a news division and was using information obtained from his time at Move to support that launch—was demonstrably false. Kaminsky was hired by CoStar Group to write descriptions of New York condominiums for Homes.com, a role he publicly disclosed and discussed with multiple former colleagues at Move.
At the outset, CoStar Group warned Move that it would seek sanctions if Move pursued its meritless claims. In response, Move quickly amended its complaint, deleting the false narrative about a news division and pivoting to a new, equally unfounded theory. When Move later sought a preliminary injunction, the court denied the request in September 2024, citing the speculative nature of Move's allegations, lack of demonstrated harm, and Move's unprecedented refusal to take any discovery – including the decision not to depose Kaminsky or any CoStar Group employees.
Over the following months, CoStar Group pressed Move for evidence and continued to challenge the lawsuit's legitimacy. In March 2025, CoStar Group's legal team notified Move of its intent to seek sanctions. The very next day after the deadline CoStar provided in its notice for Move to dismiss its case, Move filed a motion to delay the proceedings. When CoStar Group responded with a detailed brief highlighting Move's complete lack of evidence, Move abruptly asked CoStar Group if it would consent to the dismissal of Move's entire case against CoStar Group – with prejudice.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing CoStar Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, CoStar Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.73%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
