An update from Compass ( (COMP) ) is now available.

On September 22, 2025, Compass, Inc. entered into a merger agreement under which its wholly owned subsidiary will merge with Anywhere Real Estate Inc., leaving Anywhere as a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass, and the companies have been soliciting shareholder approval ahead of a special meeting scheduled for January 7, 2026. After the joint proxy statement/prospectus was filed in November and finalized in December 2025, three lawsuits by Anywhere shareholders and several demand letters from shareholders of both companies alleged that the proxy materials were misleading or incomplete and sought to block or unwind the deal or obtain damages, prompting Compass and Anywhere—while denying any wrongdoing or legal need for additional disclosure—to issue voluntary supplemental financial and compensation-related disclosures, including expanded valuation assumptions from Goldman Sachs and more detail on executive and director equity awards and potential post-merger arrangements, in an effort to reduce litigation risk and avoid delays to the shareholder vote and closing of the merger.

The most recent analyst rating on (COMP) stock is a Buy with a $12.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Compass stock, see the COMP Stock Forecast page.
