So what. The article I posted deals with the situation in the U.S. CBG has a global footprint with 40% of their worldwide revenue coming from property and facilities management and only 43% coming from leasing and sales. Of that 43% ownership and leasing activities, less than 50% come from the U.S. and lucky for them much of that activity is with large corporations that also have large footprints in developing nations. Still they carry a couple billion dollars of debt and have seen reductions in revenues(-30%) and EBITDA (-50%) from 2007 and 2009 with slight increases in the first two quarters of 2010. Relying on stock market prices or indexes as proxies for the financial health of an industry sector has been shown to be misleading many times, especially with the government becoming more and more involved with the economy.
