On June 11, Zillow fell 5.23% in regular trading, trading around $32.16 per share, with turnover of approximately $84.85 million.
On the news front, RBC Capital Markets significantly cut its target price on Zillow from $95 to $70, a 26% reduction, while maintaining an outperform rating. The firm noted that despite limited underlying business risk, LLM product innovation and increasingly sophisticated agentic aggregation capabilities from Alphabet's Google are likely to remain a persistent valuation overhang for digital marketplaces in the foreseeable future.
RBC estimated that Zillow's actual profit exposure stands at just 1% to 4% in a worst-case scenario, assuming indirect traffic between 15% and 20%. However, the firm argued that a more appropriate discounting of AI's potential deflationary effect on internet marketplaces is warranted, effectively lowering the ceiling for investor sentiment. Additionally, recent insider selling has further weighed on market confidence.
