Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CBRE

09/25/2026: CBRE (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

CBRE Group is the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, known for its extensive global reach and diverse business model. The company's strengths lie in its ability to combine traditional brokerage with recurring facilities management and investment services, providing a buffer against market cyclicality. Its growth narrative is built on the global outsourcing of corporate real estate and data-driven consulting services. However, the business faces significant risks from volatile interest rates and shifting office occupancy trends. While it does not pay a dividend, the stock appeals to investors seeking exposure to the global real estate cycle through a leader with a strong balance sheet.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CBRE receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CBRE has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+19.5%) and solid revenue growth (+13.4%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 2.9%), soft profitability (net margin 2.9%), very low insider ownership of 0.51%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CBRE's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.2B (2.9% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is CBRE's strongest growth driver at +19.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+13.4%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-20.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 100.0% and approximately 99.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.51%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 9.59%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 8.91%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.58%
State Street Corp 4.84%
Principal Financial Group Inc 3.54%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CBRE generates approximately $150 of gross profit, $32 of operating income, and $29 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 19.89%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CBRE has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
