AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I look for consistent profits, modest debt, and a price that offers a margin of safety. Compass sells an end-to-end technology and brokerage platform for residential real estate. The market is huge, but brokerage is competitive and low-margin, and I see no clear durable moat. The historical record is weak: in fiscal 2023, 2024, and 2025, net losses were $321.3M, $154.4M, and $58.5M. That is why the provided Lynch category is none — loss in each of the last four years. Recent quarters are better: fiscal Q1 2026 earned $22.0M, and fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, earned $92.0M on $4.3B of revenue. Trailing free cash flow is $128.3M, and FairStock's Piotroski F-Score is 7/9. But FairStock's ROCE is -0.17%, debt-to-equity is 1.38, and Altman Z-Score is 0.90, which signals financial risk. Valuation leaves no room for error. At the 2026-10-13 close of $8.81, FairStock calculations show a P/E of 146.83, P/B of 2.22, EV/EBITDA of 95.18, and FCF yield of 1.9%. Its Graham Number is $2.29, so the margin of safety is -284.72%. The FairStock Score is 33/100. Revenue has grown and recent profits are encouraging, but a value investor wants proven earning power and a margin of safety. Compass has not yet shown either.

In plain English: Compass provides technology and brokerage services for residential real estate. The business has grown revenue and recently earned a quarterly profit, but it has a history of losses and carries meaningful debt. At $8.81, the price looks expensive compared with its profits, accounting value, and cash flow.
