Nov 21, 2013
Shares of CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP, Financial), the leading provider of commercial real estate data in the U.S. and U.K., contributed to performance during the third quarter, driven by outstanding financial results, accelerating business momentum, and growing synergies from its LoopNet acquisition. CoStar continued to generate record quarterly bookings, which we estimate grew by over 75% in the most recently reported period. We continue to be excited by the LoopNet acquisition, which represents a potential opportunity of more than $600 million of recurring, high-margin revenue. (Neal Rosenberg)
