CBRE posts H1 2026 revenue of $21.8B, up 17.0%, led by advisory and critical infrastructure; Telford fire remediation liability expands to $456M

CBRE's commercial real estate recovery thesis is playing out across every transaction-sensitive line: advisory leasing rose 21.9% globally in H1 2026, property sales jumped 29.9%, and critical infrastructure revenue surged 69.2% as data center buildouts accelerate. The Telford Homes fire safety remediation provision expanded by $168 million in Q2 alone, bringing the total liability to $456 million — an escalating contingent cost that is compressing reported GAAP margins even as Core EBITDA reached $1.667 billion for the half. AUM contracted slightly to $154.8 billion from $155.5 billion at year-end 2025, driven by net outflows of $6.7 billion, signaling fundraising headwinds in the investment management arm despite robust transaction markets.
