Canaccord Genuity Morning Coffee on Zillow (Nasdaq: Z): Pow Wow!

After meeting with management, Canaccord Genuity Technology Analyst Michael Graham believes progress at Zillow has been steady since the company reported strong Q4 results on February 15. Key takeaways from his meetings include: 1) Unique user growth remained strong in February. Graham currently forecasts unique user growth to slow from 85% in 2011 to 68% in 2012, but notes that rapid growth of mobile app usage could provide upside; 2) He believes the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace will see increasing emphasis and visibility, and could emerge as an important revenue driver as soon as this year; 3) The next potential driver of revenue growth could come from the rental market, an opportunity which Zillow is just beginning to develop; and 4) Graham continues to expect operating leverage to progress smoothly on an annual basis, with some potential for bumps quarter to quarter. He believes that over the course of 2012 important new revenue streams may become evident, driving continued operating momentum. Graham remains bullish on Zillow and believes that the company offers one of the best margin expansion profiles in the sector.
