Faircurve Insights · 31 Oct 2026
Cousins Properties Incorporated (CUZ) is a self-governing and fully integrated Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). It is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Faircurve's model put the model fair value at $20.92 a share on 31 Oct 2026. The previous run, on 24 Oct 2026, gave $20.47, so the fair value moved +2.2%. The model says it "does not yet explain moves on this valuation method." The fair value blends three methods: a cash-flow multiple against comparable companies, a dividend model, and the value of the properties. The calibrated range over 63 trading days is $16.95 to $24.99. It is built from the fair value, as there is no live options data for the stock. The range is calibrated weekly against realised prices, using 10,454 past valuations, and ranges built this way held the price 60% of the time at this horizon. The evidence grade is High. For REITs, the grade looks at the dividend record: at least three years of paid dividends with no cut. It does not say whether the fair value is right.
