Yahoo Finance Q1 Earnings Highlights: Marcus & Millichap (NYSE:MMI) Vs The Rest Of The Real Estate Services Stocks
Looking back on real estate services stocks' Q1 earnings, we examine this quarter's best and worst performers, including Marcus & Millichap (NYSE:MMI) and its peers.
Technology has been a double-edged sword in real estate services. On the one hand, internet listings are effective at disseminating information far and wide, casting a wide net for buyers and sellers to increase the chances of transactions. On the other hand, digitization in the real estate market could potentially disintermediate key players like agents who use information asymmetries to their advantage.
The 14 real estate services stocks we track reported a mixed Q1; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 4.2%. while next quarter's revenue guidance was 4% below consensus. Inflation progressed towards the Fed's 2% goal at the end of 2023, leading to strong stock market performance. The start of 2024 has been a bumpier ride, as the market switches between optimism and pessimism around rate cuts due to mixed inflation data, and while some of the real estate services stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they collectively declined, with share prices falling 1.3% on average since the previous earnings results.
