JONES LANG LASALLE INC represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
JONES LANG LASALLE INC receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 45.1/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2773 out of 7,333 stocks. JLL's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
JLL's quality score of 32/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 7.1% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 0.0% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of 2.2% (sector avg: 21.9%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
JLL's value score of 51/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 27.18x, an EV/EBITDA of 13.70x, a P/B ratio of 1.94x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.

Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 15.7% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of 3.1% (sector: 1.3%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
JLL demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 61/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 15.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 1.15 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
JLL's stability score of 30/100 signals elevated volatility and/or leverage concerns. Key stability metrics include a beta of 1.15 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 134.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Investors should be prepared for wider-than-average price swings and consider position sizing accordingly to manage portfolio risk.
JLL carries a short interest score of 65/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 134.00x). At $14.1B market cap (large-cap), JONES LANG LASALLE INC offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
JONES LANG LASALLE INC is a large-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2773 of 7,333 overall (62nd percentile).
