Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Diversified Telecommunication Services. Price $34.59, market value $7.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 150.4×** (5-yr avg 758.0×, 3-yr avg 758.0×). Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock trades at 150.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 758.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Communication Services median in the September 2026 study was 21.1×. Forward P/E is 12.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.8×.
- **Price / book: 1.8×**. The shares trade at 1.8× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 30.4×**. Enterprise value is 30.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.3%** (5-yr avg 8.3%). Free cash flow equals 3.3% of the market value, below its five-year average of 8.3%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 0.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 0.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 72.9%**. Zillow Group Inc. Class C Capital Stock keeps 72.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 0.4%**. 0.4% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.9%**. 0.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 0.5%**. 0.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 0.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 0.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 1.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.0% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 118.8%**. Earnings per share rose 118.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -62.3%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -62.3% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.27**. Debt is 0.27 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.0×**. It would take 2.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 3.13** (quick 3.13). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.13 times.
