Oct 24 (Reuters) -Real estate services provider CBRE Group CBRE.N on Thursday raised its full-year profit forecast, after a strong business in leasing market helped with better-than-expected quarterly revenue, sending the company's shares up 4.8% before the bell.
The company said quarterly global leasing revenue surged 19%, supported by a 24% increase in the United States, as greater economic certainty buoyed corporate decision-making about office space.

Dallas, Texas-based CBRE now expects 2024 core profit per share between $4.95 and $5.05, up from its prior forecast of between $4.70 and $4.90 per share.
CBRE reported core adjusted earnings per share of $1.20 for the third quarter, above analysts' average expectations of $1.06 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Its revenue for the quarter ended Sept. 30 rose 14.8% to $9.04 billion. Analysts on average estimated revenue at about $8.80 billion.
