FAQ

Where can I check these figures myself?

On SEC EDGAR, in CBRE Group's 10-Q (accession 0001138118-26-000031). The same values appear on the corresponding lines of the consolidated statements.

Are the ratios figures the company reports?

No. They divide two figures stated in the filing for the same period. The working is in the arithmetic table in the subscriber section.

Are figures from different periods mixed?

No. Income and cash items are divided only by items covering the same length of time, and balances are always stated against the previous fiscal year-end.

How aiSwingX™ wrote this

  1. We read the filing on SEC EDGAR in full — statements, notes, MD&A. Press releases and news are not used as sources.
  2. Every figure is reconciled to its location in the filing and to XBRL data. One mismatch means no publication.
  3. An editor reviews before publication; any later change is recorded in the revision history.
