Core Signals
Revenue Growth & Demand: Consolidated revenue grew 16% year-over-year, driven by resilient double-digit expansion in leasing, critical infrastructure services, and local facilities management.
Bullish Signals
Data center services revenue reached over $700 million in the quarter (+30%), with management projecting ~25% annual revenue growth over the next five years.

Investors are debating whether CBRE's transaction-based Advisory business can sustain double-digit expansion if interest rate volatility persists and agency lending stays depressed.
