REITs are poised for 6-7% earnings growth in coming years, outpacing the historical 3-4% average, with multiple sectors showing accelerating fundamentals. Shopping centers, healthcare (notably senior housing), and data centers are standout sectors, benefiting from robust private market demand, supply constraints, and AI-driven tailwinds. Office REITs see improving leasing, especially from AI-related demand, while quality bifurcation widens; overweight positions in BXP and CUZ reflect this thesis.

RALEIGH, N.C., June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE:HIW) will release its second quarter 2026 results on Tuesday, July 28th, after the market closes.

RALEIGH, N.C., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE:HIW) has executed a recast of a $150 million unsecured bank term loan by extending the maturity date from May 2027 to June 2031, inclusive of two one-year extension options that are exercisable at the Company's option assuming no defaults have occurred.

Highwoods Properties earns a 'Hold' rating due to mixed growth signals, despite beating Q1 estimates and offering a 7%+ dividend yield. HIW's Sunbelt focus, recent investments, and high occupancy outlook support potential upside, but unsteady revenue and declining EBITDA margins temper enthusiasm. Dividend coverage is strong with a 1.68x AFFO payout, yet five-year dividend growth remains flat, limiting its appeal beyond yield-focused investors.
