what happened

According to TradingView, Highwoods Properties (HIW) raised occupancy by 130 basis points in the third quarter of 2026, driven by strong leasing activity. Its FFO reached $0.89 per share.

Full-year guidance was raised, with FFO now expected between $3.51 and $3.70 per share. Asset sales and available liquidity should support debt repayment and possible reinvestment.

why it matters

For REIT investors, occupancy and FFO are the key benchmarks, so growth in both typically supports interest in the stock and expectations for dividends. Lower debt through asset sales also matters for companies in this sector.
