Highwoods Properties (HIW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Highwoods Properties (HIW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Highwoods Properties Inc. operates primarily in urban markets across the Southern United States, with a portfolio predominantly comprising office buildings that generate rental revenue from a diverse client base, including government and healthcare entities. A positive outlook is supported by expectations of slightly positive market rent growth in its key markets, leading to an anticipated single-digit positive average GAAP rent spread in upcoming quarters. Additionally, the upward adjustment of the 2025 Funds from Operations (FFO) estimate to $3.42 per share, which falls within management's guidance range and exceeds consensus, further reinforces the company's favorable financial trajectory.
Bears say
Highwoods Properties Inc. is projected to experience a 5.4% decline in normalized funds from operations (FFO) for the year 2025, followed by a modest recovery of 4.2% in 2026; however, this forecast is still below the consensus expectations. The company faces significant downside risks, including the potential for rising interest and capitalization rates, waning investor demand, and weakening fundamentals in its primary urban markets. Additionally, any necessary reliance on equity markets or the execution of dilutive property sales to fund investments could further impact financial performance and investor confidence.
