Piper Sandler lowered the firm’s price target on Hudson Pacific (HPP) to $2.50 from $3 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Third quarter showed a bifurcation between those whose outlooks remain intact versus those who dialed back, the firm notes. The need for earnings growth in “REITland” was made abundantly clear in Q3 as sectors like apartments took a step back, because of a tepid job market weighing on new rents, while office’s recovery is spreading to the Bay Area, driven by tech and AI, Piper adds. Given the underperformance of REITs, the firm thinks the focus needs to be on delivering cash flow growth.
