Cushman & Wakefield reported strong first-quarter results, with record revenue and adjusted earnings per share surpassing analyst expectations. While the company recorded a GAAP net loss, this was primarily driven by non-cash charges related to a pension buy-out and a servicing liability. The robust growth in adjusted EBITDA and across all service lines, particularly leasing and capital markets, indicates solid operational performance and positive momentum.
