What Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated told the SEC could break it.
JLL's results swing with the real-estate cycle: its transaction-driven and advisory revenue falls during economic slowdowns and recessions as demand for real estate and related services weakens, and market volatility can tighten lending and raise counterparty liquidity concerns. Because it operates globally — about 38% of 2025 revenue came from outside the U.S., most significantly in British pounds and euros — a stronger dollar reduces its reported earnings and muddies period-over-period comparisons. Trade policy adds a project-level cost risk: tariffs, sanctions and technology-transfer controls raise prices for construction materials and technology, particularly hitting its Project and Development Services and Workplace Management businesses and risking delays or cancellations.

In its own words
What could break it.
Currency (FX)
- foreign currency exposure (GBP, EUR)medium
About 38% of JLL's 2025 revenue was earned outside the US — most significantly in British pounds and euros — so a stronger US dollar reduces reported earnings and complicates period comparisons.
“Foreign exchange risk is the risk we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our revenue from outside of the U.S. approximated 38% and 39% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as outlined in the table below. Operating in international markets means we are exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, most significantly the British pound and the euro.”

Other disclosures
- real-estate market cyclicalitymedium
JLL's transaction-driven and advisory revenue is sensitive to economic slowdowns/recessions, which reduce demand for real estate and related services; market volatility can also tighten lending and create counterparty liquidity issues.
“We have previously experienced and expect in the future that we will be negatively impacted by periods of economic slowdown or recession and corresponding declines in the demand for real estate and related services.”

Regulatory & policy
- tariffs/trade barriers raising construction-material and technology costsmedium
Tariffs, sanctions and tech-transfer controls raise the cost/complexity of real-estate projects by increasing prices for construction materials and technology, particularly affecting JLL's Project & Development Services and Workplace Management businesses and risking project delays/cancellations.
“These trade barriers can directly increase the cost and complexity of real estate projects by raising prices for essential construction materials and technology, which particularly affects our Project and Development Services and Workplace Management businesses and can lead to project delays or cancellations.”
