Price Performance

Growth Potential

  • Clear #1 market position in online property classifieds, with consumers spending more time on realestate.com.au app than the number two website. Realestate.com.au was named Australia’s 6th most valuable brand in Kantar Brandz 2025 Most Valuable Australian Brands list. 
  • Growth opportunities via expansion into Asia and North America.
  • Forecast to grow yield by double digit (driven by price increases) despite challenges with listing volumes.
  • Upside in key markets – particular in areas where REA is under-penetrated and could potentially win market share from competitors.
  • New product developments to increase customer experience (including AI enhanced features – mgmt. noted they are using AI in every part of the organisation). India represents a meaningful opportunity despite the execution risk.
  • Recovery in Associates performance and turnaround in Commercial & Developer segment (mgmt. noted C&D has hit an inflection point).
  • Capital management – REA will look to return excess capital in the absence of M&A opportunities. 

Key Risks


  • The imminent arrival of a new CEO could potentially create uncertainty around future strategic direction.
  • Volume (listings) outlook remains subdued in the near term.
  • Increasing competition – CoStar (U.S. based real estate company) looking to displace REA’s dominance in Australia. 
  • Execution risk in India / North America.
  • Value/EPS destructive acquisitions.
  • Decline in Australian property market.
  • Given REA trades on a very high PE-multiple, underperforming to market estimates can exacerbate a share price de-rating.
