Compass Shares Jump After First Post-Anywhere Quarter Tops Forecasts

The stronger outlook signals faster-than-expected progress on integrating Anywhere.

Overview

  • Following Tuesday's earnings call, the stock climbed about 27% to 30% as Compass reported $2.7 billion in Q1 revenue and $22 million in net income.
  • Management lifted its 2026 realized cost-synergy goal to $200 million after actioning more than $250 million in savings within 82 days of closing the Anywhere deal in January.
  • Guidance for the second quarter calls for $4.0 billion to $4.2 billion in revenue and $310 million to $350 million in adjusted EBITDA, both ahead of Wall Street estimates.
  • Compass posted $61 million in adjusted EBITDA for Q1 but recorded negative free cash flow of $168 million, ending the quarter with $484 million in cash and $3.14 billion in long-term debt.
  • The integration plan centers on keeping productive agents—84,187 in total with 94% retention—rolling out Compass One technology, expanding ‘Coming Soon’ listing distribution through Redfin and MRED, and defending private-listing practices in a lawsuit with NWMLS.
