Zillow Q2 2026: 18% revenue growth and accelerating preferred transition drive earnings beat, with restructuring unlocking $75M annualized cost savings

Zillow delivered Q2 2026 revenue of $772 million, up 18% year over year, beating its own outlook range on both revenue and EBITDA, while reporting $118 million in adjusted net income — all against a flat purchase mortgage market. The company is accelerating its preferred monetization transition to over 75% of connections by year-end 2026, which drives higher revenue per connection (23% premium in 2025, targeting 35% by end-2026) but creates measurable near-term headwinds in residential revenue recognition timing and seasonal patterns. A simultaneous 7% workforce reduction is expected to generate $75 million in annualized EBITDA cost savings from Q2 run rates, reinforcing management's stated path to 45% EBITDA margins at mid-cycle.
