- 70% of earnings came from resilient businesses: Engineering, Project Management, Investment Management, Property Management, Loan Servicing, and Valuation & Advisory.

The big picture
Colliers' Q1 2026 results highlight the resilience of its diversified professional services and investment management platform, particularly in Engineering and Commercial Real Estate. The company's strategic realignment and focus on resilient businesses underscore its long-term strategy to perform through economic cycles. However, the widening net loss and the need to integrate a significant acquisition pose challenges to its near-term financial flexibility.
