New York, Feb 24, 2026, 09:24 EST — Premarket
- Compass shares fell 11.8% on Monday and were little changed ahead of Tuesday’s open
- A new SEC filing disclosed a chief accounting officer appointment, effective March 2
- Investors are bracing for Feb. 26 results and updated outlook
Compass, Inc (NYSE: COMP) shares were little changed in premarket trading on Tuesday after a sharp fall in the previous session. The stock ended Monday down 11.8% at $9.08.
The real estate brokerage and technology company is due to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after market close on Thursday, and host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET. With the shares sliding hard into the print, traders are looking for any shift in outlook and costs.
The move comes with markets still jumpy after Monday’s broad selloff, with tariff uncertainty and worries about artificial intelligence disruption setting the tone. “The market doesn’t only have one particular worry,” Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities, said.

Compass also disclosed in a filing that it appointed Timothy B. Gustavson as its chief accounting officer and principal accounting officer — the executive responsible for accounting and financial reporting — effective March 2. Gustavson previously held the same role at Anywhere Real Estate until Compass acquired the company in January, and chief financial officer Scott Wahlers will remain principal financial officer, the filing showed.
Compass traded as low as $9.01 on Monday after opening at $10.22, and about 35.5 million shares changed hands, according to market data.
Compass runs a brokerage business for home buyers and sellers and sells a suite of software tools to agents, including customer relationship management and marketing products.
Housing-linked stocks can swing with shifts in borrowing costs, and investors are also watching whether tariff moves and Federal Reserve messaging spill into mortgage-rate expectations.
Competition is crowded. Compass faces brokerage networks such as eXp World Holdings, alongside listing platforms including Zillow and Redfin that shape how homes are marketed online.
But Thursday’s update could cut either way. A softer spring selling season, weaker transaction volumes, or higher integration and operating costs could weigh on margins even if revenue holds up.
Investors get the next catalyst after the bell on Feb. 26, when Compass reports results and takes questions on its call, with commentary on 2026 demand and expenses likely to set the tone into early March.
