Just saw Zillow stock got hit hard today - down like 17% after they warned about legal costs eating into earnings next year. Interesting because their actual business looks solid on paper. Rentals jumped 45%, mortgages up 39%, revenue growing 18% year over year. But then management came out saying legal expenses are gonna cut their EBITDA margin by 2 percentage points in Q1, and Wall Street was already expecting higher numbers anyway. So you've got this weird situation where the core business is firing on all cylinders but investors are spooked by the guidance miss and ongoing lawsuits. Makes you wonder if this is just a temporary pullback or if there's more to worry about with those legal matters. Either way, the stock reaction was pretty brutal.
