What Happened:

Shares of online real estate marketplace Zillow (NASDAQ:ZG) fell 9.4% in the pre-market session after the company reported first quarter results.

Additionally, revenue guidance for next quarter was below expectations, which is further driving weakness in the stock. On the other hand, Zillow exceeded analysts' revenue and EBITDA expectations this quarter. Overall, the results could have been better.
