Cousins Properties stock stood at USD 28.49 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, up 0.85 percent from the prior close. The office REIT is highlighting a projected 9.7 percent annual FFO per share growth from 2024 to 2026, giving the stock a measurable operating benchmark.
Portfolio stays 92.8 percent leased
According to Stock Titan, Cousins presented the figures on September 15, 2026, at the BofA Securities Global Real Estate Conference. Its portfolio measured 22.3 million square feet and was 92.8 percent leased as of June 30, 2026.
The leasing figure matters because Cousins concentrates on Class A office properties in Sun Belt markets. The same presentation showed that 76 percent of portfolio net operating income had been developed or redeveloped since 2010, a figure that points to the role of newer assets in the operating model.
FFO outlook beats office peer trend
The presentation forecast annual FFO per share growth of 9.7 percent for Cousins from 2024 to 2026, compared with a negative 8.5 percent average for the office peer group. That 18.2 percentage point spread is the clearest numerical argument behind the company narrative, although it remains a forecast based on the midpoint of 2026 guidance or analyst consensus.
For the second quarter of 2026, Cousins reported revenue of USD 268.53 million, up 11.8 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. MarketBeat also reported fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 2.920 to USD 2.980.
Dividend adds a dated income signal
PR Newswire reported on September 17, 2026, that Cousins declared a USD 0.32 per share dividend for the third quarter. Payment is scheduled for October 15, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 5, 2026.
The stock's September 24 price of USD 28.49 remains USD 4.46 below its 52-week high of USD 32.95 and USD 7.46 above its 52-week low of USD 21.03. The range puts the daily quote in the upper half of the yearly band while the operating figures supply the more important test for the growth thesis.
