Zillow Group's Board of Directors has significantly expanded its share repurchase program by authorizing an additional $1.25 billion. This brings the total remaining capacity for repurchases to approximately $1.3 billion. This move signals strong management confidence in the company's valuation and future prospects, especially following the recent return to GAAP profitability reported in the February 11, 2026 10-K filing.
