omeReal Estate Analysis Summary

    I recommend holding JLL, diverging from the prevailing bullish stance. Potential upside comes from strong momentum in its real‑estate‑management and advisory arms, low debt, a supportive macro backdrop, and a global footprint. Yet operating margins trail peers such as CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, and Newmark. Unlike most REITs, JLL is a services firm that does not pay dividends, though it has been actively repurchasing shares. The risk of new construction projects being delayed also looms.

    Thesis: A diversified real‑estate company hampered by thin profit margins.
