# Zillow Group Class A (Ticker: Z) — Research Summary as of August 6, 2026

## Recent Catalysts (Last ~1–3 Months)

### Q1 2026 Earnings Beat
Zillow reported better-than-expected Q1 2026 results, with EPS of $0.53 versus consensus estimates of $0.43 and revenue of $708 million, slightly above forecasts [[10]](https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/zillow-group-nasdaqz-raised-to-strong-buy-at-zacks-research-2026-07-08/). More recently (within the last 13 hours as of this writing), Zillow released additional quarterly earnings data reporting $0.20 EPS [[1]](https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/zillow-group-nasdaqzg-announces-earnings-results-misses-estimates-by-024-eps-2026-08-05/), though it is unclear from the snippet whether this refers to a Q2 2026 report or a revision; the timing (early August 2026) would be consistent with a Q2 earnings release. This sequential decline from $0.53 to $0.20 EPS, if confirmed as Q2 results, could represent a notable deceleration.
