Is Highwoods Properties stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Highwoods Properties stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Highwoods Properties's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Highwoods Properties's PEG ratio

Highwoods Properties's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.09. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Highwoods Properties's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Highwoods Properties share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 141.84% of net profits

Recently Highwoods Properties has paid out, on average, around 141.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.21% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Highwoods Properties shareholders could enjoy a 6.21% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Highwoods Properties's case, that would currently equate to about $2 per share.

Highwoods Properties's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Highwoods Properties's most recent dividend payout was on 9 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Highwoods Properties share price volatility

HIW.US volatility(beta: 1.28)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Highwoods Properties's is 1.283. This would suggest that Highwoods Properties's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
