RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE:HIW) has released its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results.

REITs are positioned for robust growth in 2026, driven by decelerating supply, disciplined capital allocation, and significant valuation discounts to NAV and private markets. Sector preferences favor Healthcare and Data Centers for durable growth, with Shopping Centers and select Residential REITs offering underappreciated upside and private capital interest. Strategic alternatives, buybacks, and targeted M&A are increasingly in focus, especially for deeply discounted names like CSR, WSR, COLD, and REXR.
