Amid widespread pushes by companies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/01/42903361/amazon-workers-return-to-office-with-some-exceptions-reported">return employees to in-person offices</a>, Zillow Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/Z#NASDAQ">Z</a>) remains a steadfast supporter of work-from-home. The online real estate company&#8217;s CEO Jeremy Wacksman says its virtual work model is key to the company&#8217;s success.
What Happened: Wacksman says Zillow&#8217;s &#8220;CloudHQ&#8221; model has been successful since 2020, <a href="https://www.inman.com/2025/02/13/zillow-ceo-lauds-remote-work-as-portal-continues-to-slash-space/">according</a> to Inman, a portfolio company of Beringer Holdings along with Benzinga.
&#8220;We pivoted the company and committed to [a cloud-headquartered or CloudHQ] model almost five years ago now, and it&#8217;s been fantastic for us,&#8217; Wacksman said. &#8220;Different strategies work for different companies. For Zillow, the size we are, the type of workforce we are, CloudHQ has been a huge benefit.&#8221;
The Northwestern alum says that online work has enabled the company to hire better employees due to the higher number of applications.
&#8220;We now see four times the number of job applicants for every job we have versus what we did before the pandemic,&#8221; Wacksman said.
Zillow has significantly reduced its office space and lease expenditures. The Seattle, Washington-based company has scaled back its total office space by 73% since adopting its CloudHQ.
Why it Matters: Return-to-office mandates in the aftermath of the COVID-19 are controversial. Proponents of in-person work cite increased productivity, office utilization and company culture as the rationale for in-person work.
However, the changes have been poorly received by many employees. Several companies, such as AT&amp;T, began return-to-office initiatives without sufficient desk space for each employee, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/att-5-day-office-return-construction-seating-details-cto-memo-2024-12">according </a>to Business Insider.

Decoding Zillow Gr's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

A hotter-than-expected inflation report initially rattled markets on Wednesday morning, but investors found confidence to buy the dip, helping major indexes recover most losses by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43656846/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-in-january-chills-interest-rate-cut-hopes">midday trading in New York.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 was down 0.2%, while the Nasdaq 100 was flat, both rebounding from sharp declines following the January Consumer Price Index report. Small-cap stocks underperformed, with the Russell 2000 slipping 0.8%.
The headline CPI rose 3% year over year in January, surpassing both December's 2.9% reading and economist forecasts of 2.9%. On a monthly basis, inflation increased 0.5%, outpacing expectations of 0.3% and accelerating from December's 0.4% gain. This marked the fastest monthly inflation rate since August 2023.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, climbed to 3.3% year over year from 3.2% in December. On a monthly basis, core CPI increased 0.4%, exceeding estimates of 0.3% and doubling December's 0.2% rise.
Treasuries and interest rate markets reacted sharply to the inflation data. Traders scaled back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, now projecting only one reduction by December 2025.
Treasury yields surged, reflecting heightened investor uncertainty. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 10 basis points to 4.64%. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 1%.
Despite rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, gold edged up 0.2% to $2,910 per ounce. Oil prices dropped 2% after reports that Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, fueling speculation about a potential ceasefire in Ukraine.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also rebounded from earlier session losses.

U.S. stock futures fell on Wednesday after a mixed close on Tuesday as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell began his two-day testimony in front of Congress. All benchmark indices were lower except the Russell 2000.
Traders await the inflation data today as economists and betting markets are predicting a modest inflation report for January, boosting investor optimism that price pressures are easing and the Federal Reserve may continue its path toward interest rate cuts.
The headline consumer price index is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43627524/economists-betting-markets-predict-benign-january-inflation-what-could-go-wrong-this-time">forecasted to remain</a> at 2.9% year-over-year, based on median economist predictions tracked by TradingEconomics. Monthly, inflation is expected to increase by 0.3%, a slight deceleration from December&#8217;s 0.4% rise. 
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.54%, while the two-year yield was at 4.29%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 95.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macros at Fidelity Investments highlighted that strong bull markets tend to &#8220;roar back to life&#8221; after corrections.
He hinted that after the recent pull-back in the market caused by DeepSeek when just 17% of stocks were above their moving average, only 53% of stocks are now above their 50-day moving average. He termed it as a &#8220;weak recovery&#8221;.

However, underscoring U.S. equity fund and exchange-traded fund flows Timmer said &#8220;Sentiment remains quite constructive.&#8221;
&#8220;The sentiment surveys are more two-sided, but investors seem to remain poised for a good year in the markets,&#8221; he added.

According to the analysts at BlackRock, U.S. equities have proved resilient this year, though escalating trade tensions could keep the pressure on in the coming months.
&#8220;Resilient growth, solid corporate earnings, potential deregulation and the AI theme keep us upbeat. Q4 earnings growth has broadened as we expected, with S&amp;P 500 earnings excluding the &#8216;magnificent 7&#8217; stocks up about 5% from a year ago and the consensus eyeing a 10% rise this year, LSEG Datastream data show. We keep our tactical U.S. equity overweight yet watch for triggers for a change, such as earnings losing steam,&#8221; stated BlackRock&#8217;s weekly market note.
