JLL stock (ISIN US48020Q1076) gained 0.14 percent as of September 21, 2026, while the most recent second-quarter report showed revenue up 11 percent to USD 6.9 billion and adjusted EBITDA up 32 percent to USD 386.3 million. The same report also lifted the full-year adjusted EPS target range, a sign that management expects the stronger operating mix to last.

Second-quarter numbers set the tone

According to Yahoo Finance on September 21, 2026, the report behind JLL's latest move said diluted earnings per share doubled in local currency, revenue rose 11 percent to USD 6.9 billion, and adjusted EBITDA climbed 32 percent to USD 386.3 million. The same coverage said management raised its full-year adjusted EPS target range, implying 34 percent growth at the midpoint.

Investment Management revenue was roughly flat at USD 102.4 million, while assets under management held at USD 86.8 billion. That split matters for investors because it shows where the growth engine is still broadening and where the pace remains subdued.

Operations get a new boss

On September 16, 2026, Jones Lang LaSalle named Paul Morgan its Chief Operating Officer and gave him a seat on the Global Executive Board, according to Yahoo Finance. The new role is meant to pull operational work into a single global team, and the appointment came after a quarter in which operating cash flow was negative USD 266.9 million in the first six months of 2026.

Short interest was 1.62 percent of the float in the latest cited update, which leaves little visible skepticism in the market. At 10.41 times forward earnings as of September 18, 2026, the shares still trade at a valuation that does not fully price in a prolonged earnings jump.

Valuation stays modest

JLL stock last traded at USD 125.00 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 5.96 billion and a 52-week range of USD 100.52 to USD 288.50. For investors, the contrast is clear: the operating picture improved in the second quarter, but the share price still sits far below the year's high.
