Anywhere Real Estate ate ( (HOUS) ) has issued an update.

Anywhere Real Estate Inc. disclosed that, following its September 22, 2025 agreement to be acquired by Compass, Inc. in a merger that would make Anywhere a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass, three individual stockholder lawsuits and several demand letters were filed between December 10 and December 18, 2025 in New York and New Jersey courts challenging the adequacy of disclosures in the company’s definitive proxy statement for the planned January 7, 2026 special shareholder meeting. The complaints seek enhanced disclosures, potential injunction of the merger, and possible damages, but Anywhere and Compass maintain the claims are without merit and are voluntarily issuing supplemental financial and compensation-related disclosures—particularly expanding detail on valuation analyses by Goldman Sachs and equity award treatments for executives and directors—in an effort to reduce litigation-related delay and costs while preserving the timeline for the shareholder vote and closing of the Compass-Anywhere transaction.

The most recent analyst rating on (HOUS) stock is a Hold with a $13.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anywhere Real Estate ate stock, see the HOUS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on HOUS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HOUS is a Neutral.

The overall stock score reflects a challenging financial position with high leverage and negative profitability, offset by positive technical indicators suggesting a bullish trend. The valuation is concerning due to ongoing losses, but the strategic merger with Compass offers potential future benefits. Investors should weigh the financial risks against the technical momentum and strategic initiatives.
