“CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP) is the leading vendor of real estate technology, often referred to as the “Bloomberg of commercial real estate”. The company’s portfolio includes data and software products (the “CoStar Suite”) and digital marketing platforms (LoopNet, Apartments.com). We have long admired this collection of franchises, which provide the real estate industry with mission critical data, software, and services that are designed into workflows and function as a system of reference. They hold dominant market share, have low TAM penetration with a long runway for future growth, have significant untapped pricing power, and enjoy high margin business models with ample room for further margin expansion. These attributes have allowed CoStar’s core business to compound EBITDA at a 20% CAGR over the past ten years, a level which we expect to sustain going forward.
