Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CBRE

10/23/2026: 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, offering a wide array of services including leasing, facilities management, and investment advice. The company is known for its integrated business model, which balances cyclical transaction revenue with steadier, recurring income from its global workplace solutions segment. Its primary growth story involves capitalizing on corporate outsourcing trends and digital real estate solutions. However, the company faces significant risks from interest rate volatility, economic cycles, and structural shifts in demand for physical office space. The stock is best suited for investors with a moderate to high risk tolerance, and observers should monitor global office occupancy trends and transaction volumes.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CBRE receives a 3-star rating, supported by 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 100.6% 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 9.61%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 8.96%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.64%
State Street Corp 4.96%
Principal Financial Group Inc 3.55%

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. Weak margins explain the 2-star rating, with moderate cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

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.
