Cousins Properties hit a 52-week low of $23.34 on Feb. 11, 2026, despite strong earnings and maintained guidance, due to high valuation and payout ratios.

Cousins Properties (NYSE:CUZ) hit a 52-week low of $23.34 on February 11, 2026, amid investor concerns despite a strong fourth-quarter report showing $0.71 EPS and $255.03 million in revenue, up 13.2% year-over-year. The company maintained 2026 full-year EPS guidance at $2.87–$2.97, but high valuation metrics—P/E of 96.30 and a 533% dividend payout ratio—spurred selling. A new stake by MQS Management LLC in the third quarter and a "Moderate Buy" analyst consensus with a $30.50 target persist, though institutional ownership remains at 94.38%.
