The 20 largest Real Estate companies by market cap at the end of Q1 2025 (31 Mar 2025), compared with Q4 2024.

The top 20 at Q1 2025

Weight is each company's share of the 20 companies' combined market cap. Contribution is the change in its owners' profit divided by their combined base profit, in percentage points, so the column adds up to the sector's earnings growth. EPS cannot be added across companies, which is why contributions use profit.
