Costar, a stock that is overvalued, with a software that is overvalued, in a commercial real estate market that is overvalued....well, you get the point.

Growth rate exceeds current P/E. Performs better than industry average in ROE and margins. Debt sheet is strong with positive cash flow.

Intrinsic value of $157.12

Commercial real estate is about to follow residential--right down the drain. Info services like this will be of little value when no one is searching for new space.

I wouldn't with Andrew's di_k and blame it on Cramer. The PE is totally unwarranted. Management is not honerable, nor are they efficient. The industry is retracking and not expanding as they'd have you think. Growth, real growth, isn't there. Does this company, which steals info from its main competiton, worth $1 billion? I think not.

I'd stay far away from this one.

Costar is my Top Short Pick.

Two part play in an industry that may be ripe for competition.
Short CSGP and Long LOOP on valuation measures.

Cannot stand against LOOP's nimble busines model. And P/E is outrageous. I think LOOP and CSGP should swap the P/Es.

Since I'm way long on LoopNet, its only good karma to go thumbs down on CoStar. : )

Astronomical P/E. Competition from LoopNet, which offers superior a product. 5% Operating Margin.

P/E too high for this market

COSTAR is not reliable and doesn't encompass nearly enough of what I need. They most lkiely maxed out their customer base. The white-hot real estate boom, which produced more newbie real estate experts than dots, in dot-bombs is now over. The real estate industry is in contraction. Forward projections based on their discretionary products are ... lets just say Foolish.
