Zillow elevated to ‘Top Pick’ in U.S. Internet at Jefferies

Jefferies analyst John Colantuoni is elevating Zillow (Z) to the analyst’s overall “Top Pick” among U.S. Internet coverage, replacing prior pick DoorDash (DASH), citing three key reasons. Namely, the firm contends that the pullback in Zillow shares following the NAR’s proposed settlement creates a more attractive entry point given what it expects to be “no impact on fundamentals”; Zillow’s planned product expansions and recent housing trends point to material upside to consensus revenue expectations;, and low variable costs should augment revenue upside, says the analyst, who has a Buy rating and $75 price target on Zillow shares.
