Artisan Partners made the following comment about CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Other notable adds in the quarter included CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSGP), Agilent Technologies and Five Below. CoStar Group, a leading provider of information services to the global real estate industry, is driving an attractive profit cycle premised on CoStar Suite, a compelling product set that generates consistent, subscription-based recurring revenues. The company reported 17% organic revenue growth in the quarter, with a little over half of that coming from adding new customers. These revenues should prove to be relatively resilient in the face of an economic slowdown. In fact, we believe parts of CoStar’s business, such as Apartments.com and LoopNet, could improve in a recession as the customer base will need to spend more on advertising as vacancies increase.”
