Highwoods Properties (HIW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Highwoods Properties (HIW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Highwoods Properties Inc. is well-positioned for growth due to anticipated stronger tenant demand as a result of accelerating job growth and a flight to quality in tenant preferences, which may lead to additional transaction activity at favorable capitalization rates. The company is projected to experience slight positive market rent growth in its key urban markets, contributing to a positive average GAAP rent spread in the coming quarters. Furthermore, an upward adjustment of 2025 funds from operations (FFO) estimates to $3.42 per share indicates a financial outlook consistent with management's guidance and slightly above consensus expectations, reinforcing a cautiously optimistic perspective on the stock.
Bears say
Highwoods Properties Inc. is expected to experience a normalized Funds From Operations (FFO) decline of 5.4% in 2025, which signals potential challenges in maintaining rental revenue from its properties located in urban markets. Furthermore, there are significant downside risks, including the possibility of rising interest rates and cap rates, which could dampen investor demand and weaken market fundamentals. Additionally, the lowering of the 2026 FFO estimate to $3.57 per share from $3.61 per share, while remaining below the consensus estimate of $3.59 per share, further underscores concerns regarding the company’s financial performance.
