Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE:CUZ) is one of the 10 Interest Rate Sensitive Stocks to Buy Now.

On June 26, 2026, Truist analyst Michael Lewis raised the firm's price target on Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE:CUZ) to $30 from $24 and kept a Hold rating as part of a broader note on Office REITs. Lewis said Truist had been hesitant to become more constructive on the group several months ago, citing lackluster cash flow, weak job growth, private credit concerns, the start of the war in Iran contributing to higher inflation and interest rates, and the threat of AI to office-using employment.

Since then, Truist said job growth has improved a bit, private credit concerns have taken a back seat, and healthy leasing activity has led many investors to shift their view of AI from a job-killer to a driver of additional office leasing in some markets.

Earlier in June, Evercore ISI raised its price target on Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE:CUZ) to $30 from $29 previously and kept an Outperform rating on the shares after the annual NAREIT Conference.

Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE:CUZ) is a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust.
