Performance was balanced across all segments, with each growing segment operating profit by more than 25% due to productive resource allocation into high-growth areas.
Infrastructure services reached nearly $1.2 billion in revenue, driven by a 30% increase in data center services as AI investment remains elevated.
Global leasing revenue grew 24% as the market returned to pre-pandemic norms, with notable strength in legal and financial services sectors expanding their space.
U.S. office leasing achieved its highest second-quarter revenue ever, fueled by large deals in gateway markets and a focus on space as a productivity tool.
The Building Operations and Experience segment benefited from the Pearce Services acquisition and significant hyperscaler demand for critical infrastructure.
Management attributes the 20% growth in global property sales to a narrowing bid-ask spread, despite continued volatility in debt markets.

Strategic Outlook and Guidance Assumptions

Full-year 2026 core EPS guidance was raised to $7.80–$7.90, reflecting second-quarter outperformance and improved expectations for the remainder of the year.
Data center services revenue is projected to grow approximately 25% annually for the next five years before moderating to above 15% as the build cycle matures.
Management expects to deliver at least 15% core EPS growth in 2027, assuming no material changes to the macroeconomic or interest rate environment.
The infrastructure business is targeted to reach $10 billion in revenue and over $1 billion in EBITDA by 2030, skewed toward downstream management and refitting work.
Q4 2026 performance is expected to be comparable to the prior year, which included significant profits from the data center land program.

Operational Context and Risk Factors

Embedded gains in the development portfolio remain at approximately $900 million, with 30 sites currently held in the U.S. land bank for future monetization.
Capital raising in Investment Management fell below expectations as Middle Eastern investors remained cautious due to the volatile global backdrop.
Operating leverage in Project Management is expected to moderate in the second half of the year due to the specific timing of costs.
Supply-side challenges for data centers include NIMBYism, water and power constraints, and labor shortages, though demand is expected to outweigh these pressures.

Q&A Highlights

One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here.

Capital allocation priorities and share buyback trajectory

M&A remains the primary priority for capital deployment, with a strong pipeline across targeted investment areas.
Share buybacks will likely taper off in the second half of the year as the company does not intend to deploy more than its generated free cash flow.

Impact of AI on service unbundling and disintermediation

Management does not believe AI will lead to the unbundling of services, as the complexity and labor involved in facilities and project management require a unified platform.
AI is being integrated into leasing for predictive benchmarking and into facilities management for predictive maintenance and engineer scheduling.

Visibility and confidence in 2027 growth targets

Confidence in 15% growth for 2027 is supported by high visibility in BOE and Project Management contracts, which have historically delivered consistent double-digit growth.
Advisory growth is expected to continue as leasing volumes remain below 2019 levels and property sales are still in the early stages of a recovery cycle.
