Deep Analysis

EV/EBITDA is a valuation multiple that compares a company’s total enterprise value—market cap plus debt minus cash—to its pre-tax, pre-interest earnings before depreciation and amortization.

At 23.9x, CBRE trades well above the sector median of 13.5x and sits at the 82nd percentile among sector peers, meaning most peers are valued lower. The trend over the last eight quarters is stable, with the most recent values at 23.9x, 23.0x, and 23.2x, while the quarter-over-quarter change is +4.2% and the year-over-year change is not available. This combination of a high multiple with a stable, slightly rising trend indicates the market is pricing in sustained performance, but leaves less room for error. If earnings slip, the premium valuation could compress quickly, adding downside risk. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the valuation is not a buy signal, but the stable trend does not demand immediate selling.
