What Is The Market Telling Us

Compass’s shares are very volatile and have had 24 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Compass and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 5 months ago when the stock gained 24.2% on the news that the company reported strong Q4 2024 results, with revenue and EBITDA exceeding Wall Street's expectations. Transactions surged, outpacing the growth in the real estate market. In addition, Compass provided optimistic revenue and EBITDA guidance for the next quarter, both of which beat analysts' expectations, indicating momentum is improving. Zooming out, we think this was a good quarter with some key areas of upside.

Compass is up 35.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $7.88 per share, it is still trading 23.1% below its 52-week high of $10.24 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Compass’s shares at the IPO in March 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $390.82.
