Highwoods Properties (HIW) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Highwoods Properties (HIW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Highwoods Properties Inc. stands to benefit from a positive outlook due to anticipated stronger tenant demand stemming from rising job growth and a potential shift towards higher-quality office spaces, which may enhance its market positioning. The company is expected to experience slight positive market rent growth in its key urban markets, leading to a predicted single-digit positive average GAAP rent spread in the coming quarters. Furthermore, adjustments to funds from operations (FFO) estimates reflect a minor increase for 2025, aligning with management's guidance and suggesting sustained financial performance within the company's operational framework.
Bears say
Highwoods Properties Inc. faces a projected 5.4% decline in normalized funds from operations (FFO) for 2025, indicating potential weaknesses in its revenue stream, with only modest recovery anticipated at 4.2% growth in 2026. Additionally, there are significant downside risks associated with rising interest rates and cap rates, which could lead to diminished investor demand and softened fundamentals in key urban markets. Furthermore, the company’s lowered FFO estimate for 2026 to $3.57 per share, below both its previous estimate and the consensus of $3.59 per share, underscores the increasingly challenging financial climate facing Highwoods Properties.
