▲(11.98% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:03/02/26
The score is driven primarily by outstanding financial performance (high margins, strong free cash flow, low leverage) and a supportive earnings outlook with continued capital returns. These positives are tempered by weak technical trends (below key longer-term moving averages with negative MACD) and only moderate valuation support (P/E ~15.9, ~2.27% yield).
Positive Factors
Strong cash conversion
Consistent, high cash conversion means reported profits reliably turn into distributable cash. Over 96% FCF conversion supports repeatable dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment into product development, reducing financing risk and strengthening long-term capital allocation.
Exceptional profitability
Very high, stable margins reflect a capital-light, scalable marketplace model with limited variable costs. Durable margin structure sustains high returns on invested capital, funds product investment and shareholder returns, and provides a buffer in cyclical downturns.
Strong engagement & market moat
Extremely high user engagement and clear app leadership create network effects and data advantages. Persistent consumer attention boosts lead quality for agents, enhances pricing power for listings, and entrenches Rightmove as the dominant UK property platform.
Negative Factors
Slower revenue growth
After a post-COVID surge, top-line growth has settled to mid-single digits, limiting scope for rapid scale-driven margin expansion. Sustained moderate growth raises pressure on management to find new scalable revenue streams or accelerate monetization in adjacent products.
Thin equity cushion
A small equity base relative to earnings yields very high ROE but reduces balance-sheet shock absorbers. Aggressive capital returns leave limited capital flexibility for large M&A, cyclical shocks or sustained investment needs, increasing financial sensitivity in stress scenarios.
Segment-specific headwinds
New homes at post-COVID lows and weakness in overseas and third-party advertising reduce addressable demand and near-term revenue diversity. Persistent underperformance in these segments could cap overall growth unless strategic initiatives materially scale.

Rightmove Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionRightmove plc, together with its subsidiaries, operates property portals in the United Kingdom and internationally. It operates through Agency, New Homes, and Other segments. The Agency segment provides property resale and letting advertising services on its platforms. It also offers tenant references and rent guarantee insurance services to landlords. The New Homes segment provides property advertising services to new home developers and housing associations on its platforms. The Other segment offers overseas and commercial property advertising services; and non-property advertising services that include third party advertising and data services. It serves estate agents, lettings agents, and new homes developers. Rightmove plc was founded in 2000 and is based in Milton Keynes, the United Kingdom.
How the Company Makes MoneyRightmove generates revenue primarily through subscription fees charged to estate agents and property developers who list their properties on the platform. The company offers various subscription packages that provide agents with different levels of visibility and features on the site. Additionally, Rightmove earns revenue from advertising, particularly from mortgage lenders and other property-related service providers. The company's strong market position and high traffic volume contribute to its earnings, as it attracts a large audience of potential buyers and renters. Significant partnerships with real estate agencies enhance its listing variety and breadth, further solidifying its revenue streams.

Rightmove Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 27, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 24, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a fundamentally positive operational and financial story: broad-based revenue growth (9%), strong engagement metrics, accelerating product and AI delivery, significant shareholder returns, and robust proprietary data assets. There are near-term headwinds and timing effects—notably a softer H2, New Homes supply constraints, and planned investment-driven cost increases that moderate profit growth guidance for 2026. Management frames these investments as deliberate, with a roadmap to align profit growth with revenue in later years. Overall, strengths and growth momentum outweigh the challenges, which are primarily timing and investment related.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Group Revenue and Profit Growth
Total revenue grew 9% year-on-year in 2025; underlying operating profit also grew 9% and underlying EPS increased 11%.
Strong Agency and New Homes Performance
Agency revenue rose 9% to £305m; New Homes revenue rose 9% to £75m, with ARPA contributing materially to growth in both segments.
Strategic Growth Areas Outperformance
Strategic growth areas delivered revenue up 25% to £29.1m; Commercial up 13% to £15.3m; Mortgages up ~50% to £6.8m; Rental Services up 35%.
ARPA and Membership Momentum
Group ARPA increased by £97 to £1,621; 60% of ARPA growth was product-led and 40% from renewals. Total memberships rose ~1% to 19,272 with Agency membership up 2% and Agency retention at 90% (second highest in >10 years).
Record Engagement and Platform Usage
Time on site reached 16.8 billion minutes (second-highest on record); app users grew 11%; ~85% of audience via direct/organic channels; social engagement doubled.
Product and AI Delivery
Delivered 6,000+ tech releases in 2025; 31 live strategic AI projects at year-end (up 4 since November); tripled number of data models used in the platform; early conversational search users ~3x more likely to send a lead.
Notable New Product Adoption
Online Agent Valuation launched (average price £170) and early data shows AI-assisted responses are 16% faster and cohorts book 20% more visits; New Homes Ascend launched with 818 developments (28% live).
Financial Strength and Capital Returns
Cash conversion ratio 107% of operating profit; returned £220m to shareholders in 2025 (£141m buybacks, £79m dividends), up 21% year-on-year; announced further £90m buyback through 31 July; final dividend 6.59p (total 10.64p).
Disciplined investment and guidance
Guidance for 2026: revenue growth 8–10%; ARPA uplift guidance £110–£120; membership growth ~1%; SGAs growth expected 20–30%; underlying operating profit growth 3–5% with margin no lower than 67%.
Proprietary Data and Scale
Over 90% of data estimated proprietary: ~28m unique properties on optimized UPRN, ~69bn first-party signals and 57,000 defined geographic agent patches powering differentiated product outcomes.
Negative Updates
Weaker H2 and Market Sensitivity
H2 2025 was weaker year-on-year due to late autumn budget fears; New Homes and some mortgage activity were particularly impacted in H2, creating timing volatility in revenues.
New Homes Supply and Development Headwinds
New developments remain subdued with a year‑end decline of 36 developments (down 1%); traditional developments fell to the lowest level since January 2018 and will drag on New Homes in H1 2026 (negative revenue comparator ~£1.5m).
Elevated Rental Market Imbalance vs Pre-COVID
Average inquiries per available rental property averaged 10 in 2025—improved from earlier extremes but still above pre-COVID levels of 6–7, indicating continued supply/demand rebalancing.
Rising Operating Costs and Near-Term Investment Drag
Underlying operating costs increased by £11m YoY: people costs up £4.6m (7%) and technology up £4m; workforce expansion (100+ hires planned) and higher CapEx/labour capitalization (~£16m CapEx guidance, post-cap incremental investment ~£12m) will pressure margins in 2026.
Moderation in Profit Growth Guidance
Despite revenue guidance of 8–10% for 2026, underlying operating profit is guided to grow only 3–5% with a margin floor of 67% (down from reported 70%), reflecting planned investment and wage/tech spend.
Timing Concentration in Mortgages
Mortgages revenue growth (almost 50%) was weighted to H1 2025, with H2 activity subdued due to market hesitancy—introduces comparability and timing risk into 2026 performance.
Competitive and Perception Risks
Management noted competitive dynamics and some negative trade-press narratives (e.g., agent disputes / court case) and a small but vocal minority of adversarial agents, despite survey-based sentiment improvements versus peers.
Uncertainty Around Emerging AI Platforms
While management is positive on AI, referral traffic from horizontal LLM/apps is currently <0.5%, and there remains uncertainty over how third-party LLM platforms and app integrations will evolve and compete for attention.
Company Guidance
Rightmove reiterated its November guidance for 2026: group revenue growth of 8–10% (H1 expected weaker than H2), core membership growth of around 1% and ARPA growth of £110–£120 (after ARPA rose £97 to £1,621 in 2025), strategic growth areas (SGAs) expansion of ~20–30%, and underlying operating profit growth of 3–5% with an underlying operating margin no lower than 67% (2025 margin ~70%). Management expects total CapEx ≈£16m (<4% of revenue) with increased labour capitalisation and roughly £12m of incremental post‑capitalisation investment in 2026, plans to hire over 100 people, and retains strong cash generation (cash conversion 107% of operating profit); it returned £220m to shareholders in 2025 (£141m buybacks, £79m dividends), has announced a £90m buyback through 31 July and a final dividend of 6.59p (total 10.64p), and plans to reduce cash from ~£43m to ~£20m by the half year.

Rightmove Financial Statement Overview

Summary
High-quality financials with exceptional profitability (very high EBIT/net margins), low leverage, and strong earnings-backed free cash flow generation. Key risks are normalized (slower) revenue growth in recent years and one apparent 2025 gross profit data inconsistency that reduces confidence in that specific line item.
Income Statement
90
Very Positive
Revenue has grown steadily from 2022–2025 (with a particularly strong rebound in 2021), and profitability is exceptional for the sector with net margins roughly ~49–60% and EBIT margins consistently above ~66%. The main weakness is the growth profile: after the 2021 surge, revenue growth normalized to mid-single digits (and was very modest in 2024), and 2025 shows a reported gross profit margin of 0% (likely a data inconsistency versus prior years near ~99–100%), which reduces confidence in that specific line item.
Balance Sheet
84
Very Positive
The balance sheet is conservatively financed with very low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.08–0.16 across the period) and modest absolute debt levels. Equity is relatively small versus the earnings base, which drives extremely high returns on equity and suggests the company runs a capital-light model but can also reflect an aggressive capital return posture that leaves a thinner equity cushion. Total assets are stable to modestly rising since 2022, indicating a steady balance-sheet footprint.
Cash Flow
92
Very Positive
Cash generation is very strong and consistent: operating cash flow and free cash flow closely track reported earnings (free cash flow is ~96–100% of net income each year), supporting high-quality profits. Free cash flow growth is positive in most years (notably strong in 2021 and 2025), though it was slightly negative in 2024, indicating some year-to-year variability despite the overall upward trend since 2020.

Rightmove Extends Long-Running Buyback With 210,000-Share Repurchase
Positive
Mar 2, 2026

Rightmove plc has continued to execute its longstanding capital return strategy, repurchasing 210,000 ordinary shares at an average price of about 441.7p, with the transaction conducted through UBS AG’s London branch. The buyback, equal to roughly 0.0275% of prior voting rights, will see the shares cancelled, marginally reducing the share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share for investors.

The latest purchases bring the total number of shares bought back since the programme began in 2007 to 545,982,253, underscoring management’s sustained use of excess cash to support the share price and optimise the capital structure. Following this transaction, Rightmove has 762,318,333 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury stock, while 10,753,494 shares are held in treasury, factors closely watched by shareholders assessing dilution, liquidity and future capital allocation flexibility.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:RMV) stock is a Buy with a £765.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rightmove stock, see the GB:RMV Stock Forecast page.
