Investor caution persists despite revenue gains and segment outperformance

Zillow Group reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $772 million, marking an 18% year-over-year increase. Non-GAAP earnings reached $0.52 per share, with growth driven by a 31% increase in rentals revenue, a 42% rise in multifamily rentals, and a profitable Zillow Home Loans segment. The company also noted a transition to a preferred agent partner model, now accounting for 61% of connections and higher revenue per connection, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Zillow trapped in a clear bearish trend, with price persistently below both the 20-day and 200-day moving averages. Despite improved earnings and rising revenue, he warns that technical signals remain weak and price action is uninspiring. The short-term support at $33.21 is fragile, with momentum indicators only hinting at a minor bounce rather than real strength. Sentiment is capped by broader market selling and recent intraday weakness. "The recovery signals are not convincing — selling pressure is likely to persist unless a strong catalyst emerges," Kharitonov concludes.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the company's impressive 18% revenue growth, strong expansion in rentals, and a profitable mortgage segment. He points to Zillow's shift to the preferred agent partner model as a driver of higher revenue efficiency and future scalability. Karapetjanc believes these fundamentals underpin long-term opportunities, even while the stock faces near-term market volatility. "Bullish structure remains intact on the business side — patient investors can expect further growth as Zillow's rental and mortgage momentum accelerates," he states.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, views the persistent selling and technical resistance as warning signals for traders. He notes the renewed intraday downside after the open, alongside flagging market sentiment that overshadows positive corporate news. Dele emphasizes the risk of further breakdown if $33.21 fails. "Despite upbeat news, I remain skeptical — downside risks are elevated with buyers struggling to gain control at key levels," Dele warns.

Mixed momentum emerges as price tests resistance amid weak trend

Zillow is currently trading below its 20-day moving average at $33.61 and well under the 200-day moving average at $49.76, but remains just above the 50-day moving average at $33.21. This setup reflects short-term selling pressure, some stabilization in the medium term, and a bearish bias in the long-term trend as indicated by the MA-50 vs MA-200 alignment. Near-term resistance is at $33.47 (Ichimoku Kijun) and support is at $33.21 (MA-50). Momentum signals are mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals buy, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) reads neutral, suggesting lackluster trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a buy bias and is not overbought, the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) remain neutral, while Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is above zero, showing buyer dominance but already in overbought territory. The daily session sees the stock at $33.26, down $1.01 or 2.95% with a downside gap of about $0.35 (roughly 1.02%), with the price trading near the low of the intraday range and volatility at 4.54%. Intraday action shows renewed downside pressure after the open. Momentum indicators signal a potential rebound, but oscillators suggest caution as buyers test resistance.

Earlier, analysts noted that Zillow’s share price came under significant pressure despite quarterly results that surpassed expectations, as investors focused on longer-term challenges. The current technical setup suggests traders should watch for a breakout above the $33.47 resistance to signal a potential move higher, while a drop below $33.21 may open the way for further downside risk.
