Zillow (Z, $61.22) rating boosted to buy from hold
On Monday, Zillow shares were upgraded by a Needham analyst, on what the latter perceives as growing willingness among consumers for online realtors’ services.
Needham analyst Brad Erickson lifted rating on shares of the online real-estate platform/ brokerage to buy from hold.
Erickson thinks that prospective home buyers will have a greater comfort level with online interactions with realtors as the covid-19 pandemic compels them to move much of their lives online through (work from home) and shelter-in-place. He also mentioned that smaller realtors face increasing challenges due to headwinds to lead generation and low inventory – a situation that will propel real estate agent consolidation towards larger agencies and thus enable those agencies to spend more on advertising to grab market share.
Erickson did mention downside risks of low inventory leading to transaction softness and macro risk; but said, "we view these risks as low probability if at all given the current macro technology".
