As the Q3 earnings season wraps, let’s dig into this quarter’s best and worst performers in the real estate services industry, including Newmark (NASDAQ: NMRK) and its peers.

Technology has been a double-edged sword in real estate services. On the one hand, internet listings are effective at disseminating information far and wide, casting a wide net for buyers and sellers to increase the chances of transactions. On the other hand, digitization in the real estate market could potentially disintermediate key players like agents who use information asymmetries to their advantage.

The 13 real estate services stocks we track reported a strong Q3. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 2.4% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 1.4% below.

While some real estate services stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 2.1% since the latest earnings results.
