The earnings call presented a strong financial performance and strategic growth initiatives, with significant leasing activity and strategic acquisitions offsetting the impact of the Bank of America lease expiration. Positive market trends and a robust leasing pipeline indicate potential for future growth, although certain projects like Neuhoff require attention.

Company Guidance

During the Cousins Properties Inc. conference call, the company provided an optimistic overview of its third-quarter performance and future guidance. The team reported $0.69 per share in FFO and raised the midpoint of their annual guidance by $0.02 to $2.84 per share, representing a 5.6% growth over the previous year. The company achieved significant leasing activity, completing 551,000 square feet of leases, marking the second highest quarterly volume in three years. The strategic acquisition of the Link for $218 million expanded their presence in Dallas, a fast-growing market. Occupancy was reported at 88.3%, with a goal to exceed 90% by the end of 2026. Cousins highlighted a strong leasing pipeline across all markets, especially in the Sunbelt, with increasing activity from major financial and technology firms. Despite recent layoff announcements in the industry, the company has not observed any substantial impact on demand, attributing this to the robust return-to-office trend. The company underscored its focus on internal and external growth opportunities while maintaining a low-leverage balance sheet, positioning itself to capitalize on investment opportunities.
