CBRE Group, Inc. delivered a strong financial performance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, with significant double-digit growth in both revenue and core earnings per share. While GAAP EPS for Q4 saw a decline, this was primarily attributed to non-cash impacts from a pension buy-out and increased fire-safety remediation reserves, which, if excluded, would have shown a substantial increase in GAAP net income. The company's core businesses, including Advisory Services and Building Operations & Experience, demonstrated robust growth, with global leasing and property sales reaching new highs. Furthermore, CBRE provided an optimistic outlook for 2026, projecting 17% core EPS growth at the midpoint, signaling continued confidence in its operational strategies and market position.
