Highwoods Properties (HIW) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
Highwoods Properties remains a Hold with a $31 price target, reflecting minimal capital appreciation potential at current levels. Leasing activity is improving, but cash NOI growth is weak at 0.3%, and occupancy conversion risk persists between leased and occupied rates. FFO guidance midpoint is $3.58 per share, with an 8.63x multiple and a 6.5% dividend yield; however, recurring cash flow visibility is limited.
Highwoods Properties is now rated HOLD with a $21/share price target, reflecting deteriorated fundamentals and valuation concerns. HIW faces elevated leverage, declining occupancy, and refinancing at higher rates, with dividend coverage now exceeding 100% of AFFO. Despite some improvement in occupancy and leasing, HIW's credit rating is BBB-, one notch above junk, and refinancing risk remains high.
Highwoods Properties NYSE: HIW reported second-quarter funds from operations of $0.90 per share and raised its full-year 2026 FFO outlook, citing stronger leasing, rising occupancy and progress in recycling capital into future investment opportunities.
