Jones Lang LaSalle, commonly known as JLL, helps companies run the premises they occupy and helps property owners manage their buildings. Real estate management services generate most of its revenue, led by workplace management for companies and institutions outsourcing the operation of their facilities. Clients generally reimburse dedicated staff and vendor costs and pay a base fee, sometimes with performance fees. JLL also manages property projects and earns fees from owners for operating their buildings.
JLL helps owners find tenants and helps occupiers find space and negotiate leases. It earns leasing fees linked to signed lease commitments, while fees for arranging property sales and financing generally depend on completed transaction values. Through LaSalle Investment Management, it also invests clients’ capital in real estate and earns fees based on the capital it manages, with additional fees when investments exceed agreed performance thresholds.
The management business depends on retaining long-term client relationships, although many contracts allow clients to terminate on short notice. Transaction income depends on deals closing, their size and pricing. JLL and its licensed employees must maintain the licenses required to operate in each market.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
JLL depends on commercial leasing, investment transactions and outsourced property operations, making Savills another global rival to watch beyond this list.
CBRE competes with JLL for fees from owners, occupiers and investors worldwide across leasing, property sales, financing, building operations, project management and investment services. Its leasing and property-sale fees offer a read on the transaction demand that also drives JLL.
Cushman & Wakefield Ltd. competes globally with JLL for owners' and occupiers' spending on leasing, selling, valuing and managing commercial properties. Its leasing fees and property-services revenue help distinguish transaction demand from demand for ongoing building operations.
Newmark competes with JLL for clients paying to lease, buy, sell, finance and manage commercial properties, including arranging mortgages and collecting payments on those loans. Its leasing and property-transaction commissions are a useful gauge of the deal activity behind JLL's fee income.
Colliers competes with JLL for clients' commercial leasing, property sales and financing, property management, valuation and investment-management business. Watch its commercial real estate revenue rather than total revenue: engineering accounted for 31% of its global revenue in 2025.
Walker & Dunlop competes with JLL to arrange U.S. multifamily loans backed by housing agencies, manage their ongoing payments, and advise clients on commercial property financing and sales. Its agency lending and refinancing activity offers a focused read on the multifamily business that helped drive JLL's transaction growth in 2025.
Marcus & Millichap competes with JLL for commercial property buyers' and sellers' sales and financing business, but focuses more on smaller private-client deals. Private clients supplied about 64% of its brokerage commissions in 2025, making those commissions a narrower signal than JLL's broader transaction fees.
ABM Industries competes with JLL for businesses' and institutions' spending on running and maintaining their facilities, rather than on property deals. Its commercial cleaning, engineering and HVAC business offers a view of the outsourcing demand behind JLL's workplace-management contracts.
CBRE GROUP, INC. earningsCBRE
CBRE’s report will show whether clients are leasing and selling more commercial property, the same deal activity that generates transaction fees for JLL.
Look at whether CBRE’s leasing and property-sale fees strengthen or weaken together. If both strengthen, clients are completing more deals, supporting demand for JLL’s leasing and capital-markets transaction fees; if both weaken, the deal activity they share remains under pressure.
Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. earningsThis company
Workplace Management is JLL’s largest business, and its report will show whether managing clients’ sites turns into stronger earnings after the people and vendor costs.
Read Workplace Management revenue alongside adjusted EBITDA, a measure of operating performance that excludes certain items. If both rise, fees and operating efficiency are covering the people and vendor costs of serving client sites; if revenue rises but adjusted EBITDA stalls or falls, the added work is not yet producing better returns.
Fed Interest Rate Decision
JLL earns leasing and capital-markets fees when clients complete property leases, sales and financing, so the Fed’s rate decision matters because it can change borrowing costs and the number and value of those transactions.

If it comes in above expectations
Higher rates could make financing costlier for property buyers and borrowers, potentially delaying or reducing completed sales and financing deals and the fees JLL earns from them; leasing activity may also weaken.
If it comes in below expectations
Lower rates could make financing cheaper and support more property sales and financing deals, potentially increasing JLL’s transaction-based fees; stronger leasing activity could also lift its leasing fees.
