The FTSE 100 constituent said it still expects revenue growth of 8–10% this year, with its Core business, covering Estate Agency and New Homes, continuing to deliver product-led Average Revenue per Advertiser growth.
Strategic Growth Areas, comprising Commercial Property, Mortgages and Rental Services, remain on track for 20–30% revenue growth, while underlying operating profit is still expected to rise 3–5%. Underlying earnings per share are forecast to grow by at least 5%.
Rightmove said it recorded more than 2,500 technology releases in the first four months of the year, more than 20% higher than the same period in 2025, with April marking the highest monthly release count in its history. AI initiatives increased to 43 from 31 at the end of December.
Chief executive Johan Svanstrom said trading was in line with expectations and that the company was “innovating across our platform faster than ever before”.
