Reason

Goldman Sachs reinstated coverage of Compass with a Neutral rating and $14 price target, which implies 5% upside, following the Anywhere Real Estate acquisition. The firm sees limited visibility for Compass, saying the housing recovery facing ongoing affordability challenges. The company has growing exposure to non-premium segments of the housing market through its merger with Anywhere, which could make it more challenging for the new Compass to achieve its historical pace of market share gains, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason

JPMorgan initiated coverage of Compass with an Overweight rating and $15 price target. The firm says the company's "transformational" acquisitions, "unified" technology platform, and accelerating margin inflection position it as the premier consolidator in U.S. residential real estate. The Anywhere merger unlocks $300M in targeted synergies, recurring high-margin revenue, and a clear path to deleveraging, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
