Dallas: CBRE Group, Inc., the global leader in commercial real estate services, has announced record-breaking financial results for the 2025 fiscal year, fueled by a massive surge in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and data center expansion. In its latest earnings report released on February 12, 2026, the Dallas-based firm revealed that total revenue climbed 12% to reach $11.63 billion for the fourth quarter alone. This growth was largely attributed to the unprecedented flow of capital into AI technology, which has revitalized the commercial real estate sector by creating high demand for specialized facilities and long-term infrastructure leasing.
Chief Executive Officer Bob Sulentic highlighted that the rise of AI is no longer just a peripheral trend but a core driver of the company’s global success. As tech giants and enterprises rush to secure the physical space required for massive computing power, CBRE’s data center solutions and digital infrastructure segments have seen double-digit revenue increases. Sulentic noted that while traditional sectors have faced challenges, the “AI wave” is providing significant new opportunities for property management, construction, and large-scale leasing, particularly across the United States and other major global markets.
Financially, the company ended 2025 on a high note, with full-year revenue reaching a record $40.6 billion. The adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for the fourth quarter stood at $2.73, exceeding analyst expectations and reflecting the firm’s operational resilience. Despite some market volatility and broader economic shifts, CBRE’s “resilient” business lines—including property management and recurring service contracts—continued to post strong gains. This performance provided a boost to investor confidence, leading to a noticeable uptick in the company’s stock price following the announcement.
Looking toward 2026, CBRE remains highly optimistic, projecting a continued growth trajectory as interest rates stabilize and AI-related investments mature. The company has issued an initial forecast for 2026 with an expected core EPS in the range of $7.30 to $7.60, representing a 17% increase at the midpoint. Management intends to continue streamlining operations and investing in AI-driven data insights to maintain their competitive edge, ensuring that the firm stays at the forefront of the evolving digital real estate landscape.
