What matters now
- Solid but not exceptional quality (51/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($16.81 to $30.76) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
- As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $14.24 – $34.40 · fair‑value band $16.81 – $30.76 · the $31.01 price screens above the $24.61 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 20, 2026.
Analysis
Highwoods Properties Inc (HIW) currently trades at $31.01, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $24.61, implying the stock looks roughly 26.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $24.61 per share, and 1 of the 8 models we run sit above the $31.01 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $14.45, and 7 of the 8 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Highwoods Properties Inc generated revenue of $824M at a net margin of 11.4%. Revenue grew 7.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.8%. Net debt stands at $3.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $16.81 (bear case) to $30.76 (bull case); at $31.01, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 55% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at −22% fair-value upside, at −21%, HIW screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 11 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($24.61) versus Asset-Based ($14.45). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 50 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 65
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
