Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Cousins Properties Incorporated trades at $27.71, close to the $27.41 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 42 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is Cousins Properties Incorporated (CUZ) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $27.41, CUZ at $27.71 is 1% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own CUZ?
12 of the institutions we track reported a position in CUZ in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
Does Cousins Properties Incorporated (CUZ) pay a dividend?
Yes. Cousins Properties Incorporated yields 3.96% at the current share price. It has paid $1.28 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 39 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
