Page 1 of 10

On January 14, commercial real estate services firm CBRE published a detailed report on the U.S. real estate market outlook for 2026. The firm expects commercial real estate investments to touch the $562 billion mark, which translates into a 16% jump. The market is expected to be characterized by a recovery in leasing activity and income-driven returns for investors. Reflecting on various sub-segments within the broader real estate landscape, the firm projects a continued “flight to quality” among investors in industrials. For retail, they estimate success in select areas strongly aligned with consumer demand. Within the multifamily segment, the foremost priority will be tenant retention in current market conditions.

Hence, the market will require investors to be diligent in their capital allocation approach. Within the broader real estate market, certain business models are established to perform core functions. This is a reference to real estate services companies that facilitate important processes involved in the real estate market. With the highlighted projections for 2026, these services firms are likely to position themselves to benefit from evolving market dynamics.

With that background, let’s explore our 10 Best Real Estate Services Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds.

Our Methodology

To identify relevant stocks for this article, we screened U.S.-listed real estate services companies with market capitalizations above $2 billion and share prices above $5. Also, we shortlisted only stocks with at least 10% upside potential according to TipRanks consensus as of the February 5 close. In the final part of the screening, we identified the number of hedge funds that held positions in these stocks as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. Finally, we selected 10 stocks with the highest number of hedge funds holding stakes and ranked them in ascending order.

Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 427.7% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 264 percentage points (see more details here).

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
