Zillow Stock Near 52-Week Lows: Is It Time to Buy the Dip?
Zillow Group's shares (Z, ZG) are near 52-week lows around $30, amid challenging housing conditions due to rising mortgage rates. Q2 revenue grew 18% to $772M, with strong performance in rentals and mortgage segments. Management forecasts 2026 revenue of $2.92B-$2.96B and adjusted EBITDA of $730M-$760M. Despite a more appealing valuation, near-term upside may be limited by elevated mortgage rates.
