Market Capitalization: $12 Billion
Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (NYSE:JLL) operates as a commercial real estate and investment management company. The company leases space to tech firms as they develop AI data centers. On November 11, Jefferies analyst Peter Abramowitz raised the price target on the stock to $318 from $302 and kept a Buy rating on the shares. Despite strong Q2 results, the stock had a muted reaction following a spike in the 10-year following Tuesday’s election results, notes the advisory, which thinks this is missing the forest for the trees. A pro-business, anti-regulation environment will likely support an even stronger capital markets recovery, the advisory told investors.
