Read MoreHide Full Article
A strong stock as of late has been Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL - Free Report) . Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 5.3% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $347.81 in the previous session. Jones Lang LaSalle has gained 34.7% since the start of the year compared to the 17.6% move for the Zacks Finance sector and the 17.7% return for the Zacks Real Estate - Operations industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?
The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on November 5, 2025, Jones Lang LaSalle reported EPS of $4.5 versus consensus estimate of $4.24.
For the current fiscal year, Jones Lang LaSalle is expected to post earnings of $17.33 per share on $25.84 in revenues. This represents a 23.77% change in EPS on a 10.29% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $20.28 per share on $27.47 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 17% and 6.3%, respectively.
Valuation Metrics
While Jones Lang LaSalle has moved to its 52-week high over the past few weeks, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Jones Lang LaSalle has a Value Score of B. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are B and C, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 19.7X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is a premium to the peer industry average of 15.1X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 15.6X versus its peer group's average of 12.7X. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.
Zacks Rank
We also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Jones Lang LaSalle currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Jones Lang LaSalle meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though Jones Lang LaSalle shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.
