CoStar Group added four new risk categories in 2026 covering business operations, data and intellectual property, international operations, and indebtedness, while maintaining all existing risks from the prior year. The company substantively modified four risk categories, with the most significant changes occurring in regulatory compliance and legal matters disclosures, along with revisions to data, intellectual property, and listings risks. These structural additions suggest CoStar expanded its risk disclosure framework to address emerging concerns in international expansion and debt management while deepening its treatment of regulatory and IP-related exposures.
