Zillow Group, Inc. (Z): one to watch?

Watch, not buy yet — growth is real but housing market weakness and a legal loss on listing access make the timing uncertain.

👀 WATCH Fundamentals64/100

Down 86% from its all-time high of $197.81 — now $28.43

Why Z dropped

The stock has been grinding lower for months mainly due to a macro headwind (mortgage rates near 7%, existing-home sales stuck near depressed levels) plus a September 2026 court loss where a judge denied Zillow's bid to stop a Chicago listing service from cutting off its home-listing access, adding a company-specific legal risk on top of the housing slump.
