Public REITs Are Positioned For Trophy Office Upside

Office buildings are experiencing accelerating bifurcation; quality assets in strong markets are outperforming as obsolete buildings face decline or conversion. We capitalized on deeply discounted valuations in 2023-24, notably with HIW, which delivered a +43% total return in 2024. Current leasing momentum, generationally low supply, and return-to-office trends support positive earnings growth for high-quality office REITs.

Tariffs On, Tariffs Off

US equity markets rallied this week, capping off the best monthly gains since November 2023, as investors weighed encouraging inflation data against a whipsaw of court rulings on tariffs. Extending the on-again-off-again tariff saga, a trade court ruled that the tariffs were procedurally invalid, but an Appeals court paused the block, likely sending the decision to the Supreme Court. Rebounding from declines of 2.6% last week, the S&P 500 rallied 1.8% this week, closing within 4% of its February record highs.

Cousins Properties: The 5.5% Dividend Yield Is Not A Buy

Cousins Properties is paying out a 5.5% dividend yield that is 215% covered by 2025 FFO per share. The REIT's focus on Class A office properties has so far insulated its occupancy rates from weakness in Austin, its largest market by net operating income. The current dividend yield is not attractive against underlying Austin weakness and does not provide a substantial spread above the US 10-year Treasury yield.
