CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE: CBRE) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an expanded authorization for the repurchase of up to an additional $5 billion of shares.

The expanded authorization is in addition to the existing $4 billion stock repurchase authorization, which had approximately $1.4 billion remaining as of September 30, 2024.

“Share repurchases are a key part of our capital allocation strategy. The expanded authorization is particularly timely given that we believe our shares’ current valuation understates our long-term growth prospects,” said Emma Giamartino, chief financial officer of CBRE.

“We ended the third quarter in exceptionally strong financial position with more than $4 billion of liquidity, low leverage and free cash flow that is on track to exceed $1 billion this year. Supported by our highly resilient and diversified business model, CBRE is very well placed to sustain strong earnings and free cash flow growth well into the future.”

Since 2021, CBRE has repurchased 36 million shares for approximately $3 billion at a weighted average price of approximately $83.50 per share.
