Highwoods Properties Stock Up 8.3% in Three Months: Will It Continue?

HIW signs more than 750,000 square feet of second-generation leases, fueling an 8.3% stock rally as demand rebounds in the Sun Belt office.

US equity markets rallied to their highest levels since February after a critical slate of employment data showed lukewarm labor market conditions in May, with only minimal tariff-related impacts. Benchmark interest rates jumped to near-four-month highs as hotter-than-expected wage growth metrics fueled doubts on the prospects for meaningful Federal Reserve easing this year. Meanwhile, investors weighed questions about the fate of the "Big Beautiful Bill" amid fierce challenges from Elon Musk, alongside signs of thawing in the tariff stalemate with China.

REITs Can Hold The Line In A Tariff War

REITs offer defensive qualities and are undervalued relative to the broader market, making them attractive amid heightened market volatility and trade war uncertainty.
