Highwoods Properties stock (ISIN US4312841087) gained 2.05 percent to USD 29.69 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, while the office REIT heads toward its next results date. Yahoo Finance reported that Highwoods will release third-quarter figures on October 27 after the market closes, followed by a conference call on October 28.

Revenue beats the quarterly estimate

Highwoods reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 216.38 million, up 7.9 percent from the year-earlier quarter and above the USD 212.15 million analyst estimate, according to MarketBeat on September 19, 2026. The revenue result contrasts with adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.85, which came in USD 0.01 below the USD 0.86 consensus.

Highwoods also set fiscal-year 2026 earnings guidance at USD 3.46-3.70 per share, while analysts cited by MarketBeat expect USD 3.55. The range places the midpoint at USD 3.585, making the current consensus forecast USD 0.035 below that midpoint.

Analysts keep a Hold consensus

The analyst picture is cautious rather than uniformly negative. MarketBeat said on September 19 that eight rating firms covered Highwoods, with one Buy and seven Holds, producing a Hold consensus and an average 12-month target of USD 32.56.

That target lies 9.7 percent above the October 2 NYSE price of USD 29.69. The published target spread runs from USD 29.00 to USD 38.00, so the lower end sits below the latest share price while the upper end is materially higher.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Highwoods has a market capitalization of USD 3.27 billion and traded 957,891 shares on October 2. Its 52-week range is USD 20.45 to USD 35.44, leaving the latest price 16.2 percent below the yearly high.

The company is a fully integrated office REIT focused on business districts in Sun Belt markets including Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh and Tampa. For investors, the next test is whether the October results support the current guidance range while the revenue trend continues to outpace quarterly expectations.
