HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES, INC.
HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES, INC. (HIW) has a dated report snapshot, but its current priced-in claim is temporarily suppressed because the live engine record is unavailable or has changed.
• Highwoods is a Sun Belt office landlord concentrated in fast-growing markets like Raleigh, Nashville, Atlanta, and Charlotte, and it trades at a deeply discounted roughly 7.6 times adjusted funds from operations, a near-13% cash yield that prices in the market's broad distrust of office regardless of geography. • The central risk is occupancy: the office cycle has punished landlords as tenants shed space, and Highwoods is guiding year-end occupancy of 86.5% to 88.5%, with a leased rate of 89.
