AI Insight: HIW Financial Trends
Q1 2026 revenue jumped to $214M — highest in the series — while operating income hit $143M, signaling a potential inflection after six quarters of flat performance.
• Revenue rebounded sharply to $214M in Q1 2026 from a trough of $200M in Q1 2025, the strongest reading across all eight quarters.
• Operating income recovered to $143M in Q1 2026, up from a low of $134M in Q4 2024, though the range remains narrow across the full period.
• Equity has drifted modestly lower from $2,414M in Q2 2024 to $2,369M in Q1 2026, a gradual erosion of roughly $45M over eight quarters.
⚠ Operating CF dropped to $63M in Q1 2026 — second-lowest in the series behind Q1 2025's $46M — seasonal or structural weakness warrants monitoring.
⚠ Total debt data is absent across all periods; leverage picture is incomplete and limits balance-sheet assessment.
AI Insight: HIW Ratio Trends
ROIC hits a 9-quarter high of 24.1% in Q1 2026 even as operating margin edges down to 66.8%, signaling improving capital efficiency.
• ROIC expanded to 24.1% in Q1 2026, the highest level across all nine periods shown, up from a trough of 22.5% in Q1 2025.
• Operating margin narrowed modestly from a peak of 68.5% in Q2 2024 to 66.8% in Q1 2026, a 170bp decline over roughly two years.
• Operating margin has held within a tight 65.2%–68.5% band across all nine quarters, indicating stable underlying property income generation.
⚠ Operating margin dipped sequentially for three straight quarters (Q2–Q4 2025 to Q1 2026); further compression could pressure ROIC gains.
⚠ NPM, ROE, ROA, and D/E are unavailable across all periods — leverage and net profitability trends remain unassessable.
