How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2
just where do you think you are in that cycle, in that inning? How much more sort of white space is there?
Show response
Sulentic described the opportunity skewing toward hyperscalers and large enterprises but gave no penetration figure or quantified white space.
whether it is contracts or pipelines? Like, of what gives you sort of confidence in that visibility
Show response
Giamartino grounded the answer in BOE and project management track record plus leasing still below 2019 levels and an early-stage sales recovery.
Calendar 2026 Q1
at sort of this point in the cycle is advisory -- is the greatest margin upside still in advisory services because of potential transaction upside
Show response
Emma said Advisory near steady-state 2019 margins with incremental gains this year. Greater margin opportunity lies in BOE and Project Management, where gains are steadier and more incremental.
is there a way to sort of double click and think about how much of that growth is driven by existing tenants expansion there versus sort of new businesses
Show response
Emma decomposed BOE: enterprise is low double-digit organic grower, local in Americas grew 30% this quarter, and critical infrastructure services has tremendous growth. Combined keeps BOE at mid-teens or above.
Calendar 2025 Q4
can you talk about the expectations for '26. And I think the '27 numbers came in at $1.7 billion versus $1.8 billion before
Show response
Emma explained 2025 FCF of $1.7B (vs $1.8B prior expectation) was due to enterprise client onboarding working capital timing, expected to reverse in 2026. 2026 will be within 75-85% range with a headwind from 2025 performance-related comp.
what are some of the moats to being able to replicate that sort of data advantage? And how long you think it could take
Show response
Bob expects concrete evidence of data advantage extraction by end of 2026, with AI enabling better data assimilation and delivery to professionals, plus meaningful cost savings in research.
Calendar 2025 Q3
I think we noticed you didn't break out Turner & Townsend versus the legacy. Just any comments there
Show response
Bob explained they stopped breaking out T&T vs legacy because the operating model is now fully integrated on the T&T model. Financial, HR, and technology platform integration comes next, expected to yield cost synergies next year.
Maybe can you talk a little bit just about sort of the talent in terms of people? Does this -- are you appropriately staffed
Show response
Bob detailed significant market share gains in leasing through upgraded local leadership, managed brokerage platform technology, and advisory tools like workplace design and labor analytics.
Calendar 2025 Q2
what happened post Liberation Day up until sort of the recovery in the strong July that you talked about, like did things pause
Show response
Emma gave a clear timeline: strong April from pre-Liberation Day pipeline, slight May-June pause, then July materially above April levels.
is this something that is a 2025 sort of benefit that normalizes in the out years? Or are we still sort of in potentially mid- to early innings
Show response
Emma confirmed H1 margin gains from 2024 cost work are baked in; additional operating leverage initiatives underway but expected to materialize in 2026.
Calendar 2025 Q1
how conversations are going on in the acquisition front in a market like this
Show response
Bob noted targets are more attracted to CBRE's platform in uncertain times, making the company better positioned for acquisitions than in any prior downturn.
the comments said the margins do not reflect the cost of operating synergies and so on and so forth
Show response
Emma outlined mid-to-high-teens target margin for combined segment, currently blended a little below 15%, with cost synergies and integration to drive improvement.
Calendar 2024 Q4
the competitive dynamics in that business and sort of what CBRE sort of leg up is as you sort of go forward
Show response
Bob emphasized massive fragmentation in building management as a growth opportunity, with synergies across horizontal capabilities and vertical expertise.
would love an update on what the pipeline is looking at, at this point of the year
Show response
Emma confirmed continued margin expansion into 2025 from 2024 cost initiatives, with strong enterprise pipeline across technology and healthcare.

Calendar 2026 Q2
the acquisition guidance went up. I guess I'd just love to hear what you're seeing in the market in terms of cap rates
Show response
Springer gave an explicit cap rate range across market tiers and reiterated that underwriting discipline routes deals to proprietary pipelines.
is there a scenario where expense growth can be lower than inflation?
Show response
Norman confirmed the full-year guide implies sub-inflationary expense growth and singled out the favorable mid-year insurance renewal.
Calendar 2026 Q1
is there more opportunity to take expenses out of the structure? Or is it pretty much as optimized as you can get?
Show response
Joe cited three drivers: 1) densification, more stores per market means fewer people/supervisors, 2) AI, reporting, analysis, audit efficiencies, 3) demographic shift, 39% of customers sign leases in-store by choice but younger customers want digital more. Will always prioritize revenue over expense cuts in high-margin business.
how you integrate that new wave of data on the customer? And how does that sort of plug into this algorithm
Show response
Joe acknowledged ML already in pricing models for years. Biggest challenge is triaging AI opportunities and implementing safely. EXR and large companies have technology/resources to do this effectively. Will increase gap between large and small operators.
Calendar 2025 Q4
can you talk through sort of marketing spend and some of the other line items that's getting you to that guidance?
Show response
Jeff identified marketing as the key variable: happy to pull back if ROI declines or lean in for direct returns. Property taxes magnitude matters most. Rest of line items definitely inflationary but contained.
how you guys think about the potential to replace people in the long-term role in the platform.
Show response
Joe gave detailed breakdown: 31% of leases from walk-in customers, 5% start online but need store visit, 8% call center then store visit. Store managers also protect asset value (cleanliness, security, maintenance). This drives higher occupancy at higher rents and faster management business growth. Testing hour reductions but not full removal.
Calendar 2025 Q3
should we take that as also sort of implying that maybe the marketing spend on sort of the web and all that is maybe incrementally less efficient
Show response
Joe firmly denied any decline in marketing efficiency, every dollar tested for ROI. Rate growth achieved demonstrates the benefit of that spend.
Just any sort of comments as you're sort of flipping over the next couple of years. Is there an opportunity for even more expense savings outside of property tax
Show response
Joe explained philosophy of investing in R&M, people, and marketing for long-term value. Jeff added property taxes now at 1.6% (lapped comp), payroll sub-3% on 9-month basis.
Calendar 2025 Q2
I know we talked about property taxes last quarter, obviously, continue to be pretty high year-over- year now. Maybe just a little bit more color on your expectation there.
Show response
Jeff confirmed comp now lapped; back-half property tax growth expected to decelerate significantly. All expense line items expected to moderate in H2.
is it -- does it mean that the market is maybe performing below sort of average for this environment? Or maybe your expectations was that you'd have a faster recovery
Show response
Jeff acknowledged Q2 same-store revenue lighter than internal expectations. But forward indicators (rental volume, new customer rates, existing customer behavior) all look positive.
Calendar 2025 Q1
Just love some comments on the expense side, how you're sort of thinking about it. Obviously taxes were higher as you expected, but just any sort of relief as you go through the year.
Show response
Scott explained Q1 tax comp was tough due to Q4 catch-up in prior year. Annual rate won't persist at Q1 levels. Active in meeting carriers for P&C insurance bids.
from a macro perspective after April 2nd, as you're sort of thinking about your business, your markets, bad debt, tenant feedback, any sort of signs that tariffs are having an impact
Show response
Joe reported zero impact across all metrics. Google search demand better than prior year and 2019. Also noted tariffs may slow new supply development, a long-term positive.
Calendar 2024 Q4
on the Census, I know you mentioned in the opening comments a surprise, but can you sort of say a little bit more what sort of happened?
Show response
Scott detailed GA reassessment, individual property spikes in IL/IN/NJ, budgeted 6-8% property tax increase for 2025, and ~20% insurance increase when policy renews in June.
it's early to talk about AI, but you guys have always been sort of front-footed on the technology front. Just curious if there's any sort of low-hanging fruit opportunities
Show response
Joe was measured, acknowledged office/analytics use cases but signaled caution on customer-facing AI applications, testing carefully before deployment.

Calendar 2026 Q2
Can you just provide any color of what that financial impact is? Because it seems like a good outcome
Show response
Probst named the loan size and effective rate and confirmed it was already embedded in prior guidance.
I just want to talk a little bit more about expenses. I think that obviously, the guidance is unchanged.
Show response
Hutchens separated volume-driven expense growth from underlying OpEx inflation and reconciled Q2 against the 5.5% full-year guide.
Calendar 2026 Q1
is there more of a shift to taking on a little more lease-up risk given better growth and your conviction
Show response
Justin emphasized consistent double-digit to mid-teens unlevered IRR framework across deal types. Revel is a larger case study of the value-add playbook they plan to repeat.
where did operators put through increases this year versus last year? How do you think about new versus renewal pricing
Show response
Justin noted 8% all-in rate increases vs ~7% in January last year, showing improvement. Moving rents also favorable. Volume remains the priority with occupancy upside.
Calendar 2025 Q4
is that all acuity driven? And strategically, do you have a preference? Or is there an optimal mix
Show response
Hutchens said IL outperformance expected to continue in 2026. Portfolio is ~50/50 IL/AL by units. Prefer continuum-of-care acquisitions (IL + AL + memory care) for broader demand capture.
just broad-based trends on labor costs and CapEx per unit for the product would be great
Show response
Probst said per-hour labor at normal inflation; 5% OpEx growth is volume-driven. FAD CapEx guidance up from $300M to $400M, driven by more units plus some inflation.
Calendar 2025 Q3
why do you think private equity specifically has not come into the space
Show response
Hutchens said PE barriers include need for multi-operator management platform that takes years to build. 75% of sector is small operators, scaling requires infrastructure Ventas spent years developing.
where are all these operators in that journey, right? Is it early innings? Is it middle innings? Is it late innings
Show response
Hutchens said all operators have end-to-end tech (safety monitoring, care, CRM, food services). OI platform plugs into any system, delivers granular unit-level insights back to operators. Early innings of OI potential.
Calendar 2025 Q2
what do you think you guys need to do to just unlock more of these transitions and work with the operators
Show response
Hutchens said 5-10% of portfolio always being tinkered with through transitions. Process is ongoing: work with operator first, transition if not the right fit.
I'd love to hear a little bit more commentary on sort of cap rate trends and IRR trends as this pipeline expands
Show response
Hutchens said unlevered IRRs remain low to mid-teens. Year 1 yields drifting from mid-7s to lower 7s but assets are newer vintage in stronger markets.
Calendar 2025 Q1
is there ways to creatively create more conversion opportunities? Just can you talk us through just know, the puts and takes there
Show response
Hutchens highlighted new UK SHOP conversion of 11 care homes with CCG operator as latest example. US remains first priority but continuing to look for conversion opportunities.
I think the slide makes it looks like cap rates are compressing 50 basis points, which this may not be apples-to-apples
Show response
Hutchens confirmed compression from 7% to 7.2% but still within 7-8% stated range. More competition emerging but platform advantages (relationships, track record, scale) differentiate.
Calendar 2024 Q4
as you look at the portfolio, how much more opportunity do you think there is in the next, you know, call it, three to five years and more conversions
Show response
Hutchens said most conversion opportunities have already been picked, remaining triple-net portfolio is strong with good coverage, now focused on execution.
Just wondering if you could touch on expenses a little bit. Just give us a sense of what the labor market is looking at and if that's something that is a concern
Show response
Hutchens said hiring is very good with strong retention, labor market best in some time, and 5% expense growth includes both wages and volume from occupancy gains.

Calendar 2026 Q2
stabilized yields or price per megawatt, just your views on that going forward and also on the competition
Show response
Management gave general color (heavy competition, market still in price discovery as assets move from development to stabilization) but no specific yields or price per megawatt.
Calendar 2026 Q1
can you just talk a little bit about the competition? And just your thoughts on just the cap rate compression that you've seen in any forward thoughts?
Show response
Roy attributed lower blended cap rate to fund strategy buying lower-yielding assets, while on-balance-sheet cap rates remain stable in same ZIP code for 2 years.
if you could just give us an update on the watch list again. And going back to sort of the termination cost in the quarter
Show response
Roy acknowledged potential headwind from lower termination income next year but said this is not intended as an ongoing strategy at this quantum.
Calendar 2025 Q4
how sort of those opportunities are evolving. Is one playing out more or better than the other? Is one falling back?
Show response
Roy gave detailed update: gaming coverage 100bp above underwrite (Boston), retail parks double check mark with value creation ahead of plan, data centers selective but focused, all three core to strategy.
is it still fair to say that Europe versus the U.S. is where you've seen the most sort of compelling incremental investment spread opportunities?
Show response
Roy highlighted Q4 reversal to 60% US volume, with momentum building across all geographies including Mexico, noting 2026 expected to be a banner year.
Calendar 2025 Q2
76% in Europe, which may be the biggest skew, I certainly recall
Show response
Roy cited EUR 1.25B at 3.69% (160bp inside USD), Eko-Okna at 6x rent coverage, and less competition plus relationship-driven advantage in Europe.
you guys have sort of done, I think, more work than most in terms of evaluating the impact of tariffs
Show response
Roy confirmed 4.6% watch list covers 114 clients at average 4bp exposure, with At Home's 70% import reliance already resolved through bankruptcy.
Calendar 2025 Q1
just what you see for trends going forward as we go into this uncertain environment
Show response
Roy expects cap rates around 7% near-term, noting improving cost of capital is creating outsized spreads beneficial to Realty Income.
increasing the rent escalators of the entire portfolio. Can you talk about some of those other buckets like gaming, like Europe
Show response
Roy outlined two approaches: inherent escalators in industrial/data center assets, and European retail parks bought below market rent for capture at renewal.
Calendar 2024 Q4
this year just sort of a unique outsized year or is that and should we be expecting that to sort of normalize
Show response
Pong confirmed a Q4 straight-line rent write-down of approximately $8 million and signaled conservatism may narrow as tenant outcomes become clearer.
wondering if there's any sort of larger sort of deals in there, or is it all pretty granular
Show response
Roy confirmed no $500M+ deals in pipeline, described data center approach as hyper-selective on operators and lease terms, gaming as episodic.

Calendar 2026 Q2
when do you think you'll have line of sight to be able to see sort of same-store inflect to the positive?
Show response
Kelvin declined to name the inflection quarter but pointed to occupancy rising from 77% to 78.5% and a 200 bps Lab same-store guidance raise.
Calendar 2026 Q1
Maybe commentary on some of the other markets. And if I could just ask about the 2027 expirations again, in terms of known vacates, just any sort of early color there because it would seem like the...
Show response
Kamdem asked about non-SF markets and 2027 renewal expectations. Brinker said 2027 renewal rate expected 50%+ vs recent lows, trajectory as good as it has been in years. Bohn added West Cambridge showing strong demand with a large-cap pharma lease win.
Calendar 2025 Q3
can you talk a little bit more about sort of the buy side in terms of what potential opportunities you think out there
Show response
Brinker described selling geographic outliers at strong pricing from deep institutional buyer pool. Outpatient fundamentals driving demand as inflation/rates decline.
It sounds like you said it's doubled since the beginning of the year. I was just hoping we could just double-click sort of what's changed?
Show response
Brinker said pipeline broadly diversified from early to commercial stage. Improved sentiment and capital raising driving momentum. Roughly 60 days of positive activity.
Calendar 2025 Q2
are there any submarkets that you would expect to recover first? And which submarkets would have just overall the biggest upside?
Show response
Bohn provided market-level color: Bay Area/South SF pretty healthy, San Diego seeing uptick in tours, Boston demand strongest in Cambridge and Lexington.
I was just curious about the 413 coming due next year. Is there any early -- is there any known vacates
Show response
Bohn said they are working on early 2026 expirations but the bulk falls in H2 2026, too early for detailed guidance.
Calendar 2025 Q1
presumably a lot of the decelerations coming from the lab side. Right? Because the MOBs and DCRCs seems pretty stable
Show response
Brinker confirmed all three segments could decelerate but lab has bigger expected drop due to free rent normalization and funding uncertainty.
is there one that's better positioned or worse positioned from all these sort of funding environments and cuts so forth?
Show response
Bohn ranked: SF strongest demand (portfolio scale advantage), San Diego consistent, Boston slowest but DOC has limited vacancy/exposure there.
Calendar 2024 Q4
I see some of the initial occupancy dates have been pushed back a little bit. And also that, at least on the redevelopment projects
Show response
Pete Scott attributed pushbacks to TI timing. Portside tenant has existing lease as buffer. TI ranges from $100-200/ft to $300-350/ft depending on scope.
is it a call on saying, hey, there's distressed opportunities or really unique opportunities that we can capitalize on? Or is it more of a call on like the market is getting better?
Show response
Brinker framed it as both: capturing market share via strong leasing AND capitalizing on distress. New deliveries down 75% in 2025 with nearly zero starts.

Show response
Boyle said top-of-funnel consistent but impacted by January weather. Underlying trends good, move-in rents improving into January, existing customer performing well, move-outs down.
Calendar 2025 Q3
the guidance sort of assumes a little bit of decel as you get into sort of 4Q
Show response
Boyle denied any demand deceleration, attributing Q4 sequential dip to LA pricing impact and tough property tax comps.
my second question was just on the acquisition pace picking up. Just maybe talk about the product that you're seeing stabilized, nonstabilized and sort of cap rates

Calendar 2026 Q1
I just wanted to double-click on one of the comments you made on the 95% occupied portfolio and the same growing 20%

are there any sort of lessons learned Sort of in this year's experience on trying to get these dispositions through
Show response
Joel said no new lessons; this year mirrors last year's approach with greater interest and momentum and a better industry recovery. Specific 2027 framework to come in Q3 and formal guidance in Q4.
Calendar 2026 Q1
it seems likely that 2027 could be down similar magnitudes as 2026, given it's a pretty similar setup with the expiration level
Show response
Joel declined to give 2027 guidance but pointed to positive momentum in development leasing and advanced tech alternatives. Marc noted the ultimate answer depends on how quickly vacant space and developments can be leased.
is there also a change in sort of pricing expectations

what that potential pipeline looks like in terms of the ramp and what you need to see to sort of increase the run rate specifically on the industrial side
Show response
Letter said significant number of opportunities with real estate cycle continuing in Q4 with better activity across all size ranges not just big box. Can watch markets by week and month making decisions on the fly to ramp accordingly. Arndt said precisely built up week by week at investment committee as teams decide conditions in respective markets are appropriate. Not governed top down.
Calendar 2025 Q3
you guys are looks like you're calling for an inflection point here

particularly 3PLs and sort of their impact in the Inland Empire West
Show response
Caton said Asian 3PLs face new risks but US business is just over 1.5% of rent. Customers growing in response to general e-commerce growth and stateside inventory fulfillment. Found product market fit and product will need to flow. Taking steps to mitigate risk by pulling forward inventories diversifying production sources and growing domestic customer footprint. Performance subject to policy evolution. Moghadam added demand clearly there but challenge is getting inventory in to fulfill with products selling out on e-commerce sites.
