Weaker than most covered companies on this measure — and capital returns are researched separately from the Suggested Investment Score.
Why it stands out
- More disclosed holders are new or increasing than reducing or exiting.
What holds it back
- Elevated valuation: the current market price reflects a premium to this company's historical valuation and comparable companies (Valuation Intelligence 22 out of 100, Expensive).
Long-term view
Long-Term Potential is not available for this company, so no long-term reading is shown.
Ownership view
No disclosed ownership reading is available at the required confidence, so ownership is left blank rather than estimated.
Valuation view
CBRE GROUP INC reads 22 out of 100 on Valuation Intelligence, recorded as Expensive. The stock currently trades above most of its own recent valuation history and above comparable companies. This describes the price being paid relative to the company's financials — it is not a forecast and not a fair value. Valuation Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
Capital returns view
CBRE GROUP INC reads 52 out of 100 on Capital Returns Intelligence (Moderate Capital Returns), reflecting a share count falling about 2.8% a year. Direct capital returns are limited because the company continues reinvesting most of its cash. Capital Returns Intelligence is a research model and contributes nothing to the Suggested Investment Score or the daily ranking.
What changed

Valuation is inherently uncertain. A stock that appears inexpensive can continue falling, and a stock that appears expensive can continue rising. Valuation Intelligence provides context about the price investors are paying — it does not predict short-term market movements, and it never produces a fair value, a price target or a buy or sell range.

Favorable Capital Returns
Cash returned versus company value
CBRE GROUP INC reads 52 out of 100 on Capital Returns Intelligence (Moderate Capital Returns), reflecting a share count falling about 2.8% a year. Direct capital returns are limited because the company continues reinvesting most of its cash.
This company currently retains rather than distributes cash through dividends. Capital Returns Intelligence therefore places more emphasis on its other measurable shareholder-return behaviors according to the frozen V1 methodology.
Distributions coincided with rising debt over this period, so part of the cash returned was not funded by the cash the business generated.
How returned cash was used
Dividends $0.00 · net repurchases $1.23B · total returned $1.23B · 356% of free cash flow

Why higher yield isn't always better
A very high dividend yield may reflect a falling share price or an unsustainable payout. Capital Returns Intelligence emphasizes consistency and sustainability rather than simply rewarding the highest yield.
Why buybacks can be misleading
Announced or gross buyback spending does not always mean shareholders are gaining ownership. Companies can simultaneously issue shares through employee compensation or acquisitions. Suggested Investments therefore considers actual share-count changes alongside repurchase spending.
What these terms mean
- Dividend Yield
- The annual dividend relative to the current share price.
- Payout Ratio
- The share of company earnings used to pay dividends.
- Free Cash Flow Payout
- How much of the company's available cash is being used for dividends.
- Share Repurchases
- When a company buys back its own stock.
- Dilution
- When the number of shares increases, reducing each existing share's percentage ownership of the company.
- Shareholder Yield
- A combined view of dividends and net share repurchases relative to the company's market value.
Capital Returns Intelligence describes how a company returns capital to shareholders. It is not a measure of stock-price performance, it does not predict future returns, and a strong reading is never a recommendation to buy. Dividends and repurchases can be reduced or stopped at any time. Model CAPITAL_RETURNS_INTELLIGENCE_V1, contributing 0% to the Suggested Investment Score.

In the company’s own words
What this company does
" in this Annual Report. We generate revenue from both resilient sources and non-recurring sources, including commissions generated by transactions. Our revenue mix has become more weighted towards resilient revenue sources, particularly occupier outsourcing and project management, and we are less dependent on cyclical property sales and lease transaction revenue. Non-recurring transactional revenue and earnings within our Advisory Services segment (notably property sales and leasing) have historically been highest in the year’s fourth quarter due to a focus on completing transactions prior to year-end, but such seasonality has decreased as transactions have comprised a smaller proportion of our total revenue.
The operating environment for commercial real estate improved considerably in 2025. This is evident in markedly increased property leasing and sales activity compared with 2024 levels. Occupier demand for office, industrial and data center space in the U.S. was notably strong throughout the year. Broader capital availability, lower borrowing costs and improved occupancy market fundamentals buoyed investor sentiment and led to increased real estate sales and financing activity in 2025. Large occupiers’ growing appetite for outsourcing services continued to underpin demand for facilities management and project management activities.
We deployed approximately $2.7 billion of capital in 2025. Our largest deployments for the year were approximately $1.2 billion for the acquisition of Pearce, a leading provider of advanced technical services for digital and power infrastructure, and approximately $468 million to acquire the remaining 60% equity interest in Industrious, a flexible-workplace solutions and workplace experience platform. In addition, we deployed $956 million in 2025 to repurchase 7,052,481 shares.
The following presents highlights of CBRE’s performance for the year ended December 31, 2025 (percentages represent comparison to 2024 results):
