The main question: the share price moved +12.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −19.6%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Cousins Properties share price today? Cousins Properties Incorporated's share price was $29.24 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 3 weeks. That is 8.3% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $21 and $32, and at that close it sat 73% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved −31% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Cousins Properties pay? Cousins Properties Incorporated paid $1.28 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.32 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $29.24 that is a yield of 4.38%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Cousins Properties on? Cousins Properties is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Cousins Properties profitable? Cousins Properties Incorporated earned $26.2 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +79.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $41.3 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −38.0% a year on average. That is 9.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $14.7 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $41.3 M (−11.4% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +11.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.7 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −71.1% and revenue +12.0%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Cousins Properties make, and is it growing? Cousins Properties Incorporated reported $266 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +11.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 6.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $986 M. The last four reported quarters add to $1.0 B. FY25 revenue was $986 M, +15.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +12.0% on average, against 6.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +11.7%, against +11.8% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −88.4%, against −65.6% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Cousins Properties keep? Cousins Properties Incorporated's operating margin was 24.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.7 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 20.0% and 24.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## Is Cousins Properties' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 682% of Cousins Properties Incorporated's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $402 M of operating cash against $41.3 M of profit. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: no single use of cash stands out. The next section checks both the cash tied up in daily operations and the spending on assets. ## Where does Cousins Properties' cash go? Cousins Properties Incorporated does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. In short: neither the daily cycle nor new spending is soaking up the cash, so the picture is fairly clean. ## What is Cousins Properties' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Cousins Properties Incorporated's P/E is 328.9×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −19.6% while the price moved +12.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +13.7% a year; about −59.4% a year came from earnings growth and about +73.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Cousins Properties business getting better or worse? Cousins Properties Incorporated's business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −88.4% in the latest quarter, against +12.9% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE steady at 3.4%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Cousins Properties earn on its capital? Cousins Properties Incorporated earned a ROE of 1% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.0 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 4.2% net margin and 0.11× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 4.2% net margin × 0.11× asset turnover × 1.89× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 0.9% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 1.8% − 7.8% = −6.0 percentage points. The 7.8% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Cousins Properties have too much debt? Cousins Properties Incorporated has total debt of $3.8 B against shareholder equity of $4.5 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.84× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.50 in FY21 to 0.72 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Cousins Properties shareholding pattern? 8.4% of Cousins Properties Incorporated's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 8.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Cousins Properties from balance-sheet trouble? For Cousins Properties Incorporated, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Cousins Properties rank in its industry? 55.3 out of 100, rank 3 of 17 in REIT - Office, with 64% of the evidence available. Cousins Properties Incorporated scores 55.3 out of 100 against the 17 companies it is compared with in REIT - Office, ranking 3. Relative strength against the index is 4.3%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 15.6 + 12.6 + 9.6 + 17.5 = 55.3. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Cousins Properties compared with? Cousins Properties ranks 3 of 17 REIT - Office companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 55.3 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

Cousins Properties Incorporated's market capitalisation is $4.8 B at a stock price of $29.24. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is Cousins Properties performing? Cousins Properties Incorporated's share price has been rising for 3 weeks. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 11.6% and profit rose 79.0% compared with a year earlier. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, for 1 week running (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Cousins Properties's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Cousins Properties Incorporated's stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $29.24, and it has been rising for 3 weeks. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does Cousins Properties have too much debt? Cousins Properties Incorporated has a moderate amount of debt: its debt is 0.82× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading.

Cousins Properties Incorporated's FY25 operating margin was 22.0%, against a 5-year range of 20.0% to 24.0%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 24.2%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Cousins Properties story? The main question: the share price moved +12.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −19.6%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Cousins Properties a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Cousins Properties Incorporated's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
