Compass Inc. is a real estate technology company that differentiates itself by offering an end-to-end software platform to residential real estate agents. Its core strengths lie in its high-quality agent network and its proprietary technology, which effectively supports agent productivity and brand loyalty. The primary investment story centers on the potential to capture more transaction value through its integrated platform as it scales. However, the company faces significant risks, including high operating costs, sensitivity to housing market cycles, and intense competition.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
COMP receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
COMP has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+62.1%) and solid revenue growth (+23.7%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.9%), soft profitability (net margin -0.8%), modest insider ownership of 1.51%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
COMP's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (2.9% of revenue). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is COMP's strongest growth driver at +92.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+23.7%, solid) and earnings growth (+62.1%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 94.2% and approximately 97.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.51% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
COMP generates approximately $106 of gross profit, $-4 of operating income, and $29 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 1.84%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
COMP has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
