Harbor Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) detracted from performance during the quarter. CBRE is the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment company, with the top global market position in leasing, property sales, outsourcing, property management, and valuation. It is also one of the largest commercial property developers in the U.S. First quarter results were reported in April, with most of the businesses performing better than expected with a strong new business pipeline. However, management indicated that the tariff situation clouded the outlook, as many customer decisions (i.e., new leases, property purchases/sales, new property management opportunities) were put on hold. We believe that the prospects for the company remain solid, and that the broader trend of “return to office” will continue. In addition, we believe the company’s recurring revenue provides stability and visibility into future earnings, combined with an economy of scale to invest in innovation, cost management, and outsourcing, allowing it to outgrow the category. Although detracting this quarter, the stock has appreciated more than 55% over the trailing one-year period.”
