Compass remains a strong buy as it outperforms the real estate sector despite a weak housing market. The company's acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate and quick synergy realization have driven superior transaction and gross transaction value (GTV) growth compared to peers. In Q2, Compass reported 16% brokerage GTV growth and $363 million adjusted EBITDA, with expanding margins and increased synergy targets. Trading at $13 per share, Compass offers compelling value at 8.5x EV/EBITDA amid ongoing legal and macroeconomic risks, making it attractive for investors seeking exposure in out-of-favor industries.
