Shares of REIT stocks are trading higher. The sector may be up amid a drop in Treasury yields.

J.P. Morgan analyst Anthony Paolone maintained the Overweight rating on Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRC#NYSE">KRC</a>) on Tuesday,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KRC/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> lowering the price forecast to</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KRC/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$42 from $49.</a>
Paolone expresses a positive view on the company&#8217;s portfolio, highlighting its high-quality assets and strong balance sheet compared to other office REITs.
According to the analyst, leasing activity in key West Coast markets will improve in the near future, especially as tech companies push to bring employees back to the office.
Additionally, the analyst projects operational expense growth to stabilize.
Looking ahead, Paolone sees improvement in the capital markets for office assets in 2025, which could help reveal that the company's stock is currently undervalued.

The analyst notes that, based on a 9%+ implied cap rate for the company's portfolio and a current occupancy rate of around 80%, the stock appears cheap from a real estate valuation perspective.
Paolone points out that during peak cycles, Kilroy Realty&#8217;s assets were valued at cap rates in the low 4% range, further supporting their view that the stock is discounted.
The analyst has revised their financial outlook for 2025 and 2026, lowering their FFO/share estimates.
For 2025, the revised estimate is $4.01, which is slightly above Bloomberg&#8217;s consensus of $3.99 and ahead of the midpoint of the company&#8217;s guidance at $3.95, the analyst writes.
However, the estimate for 2026 has been reduced more significantly to $3.52, reflecting a 12.3% year-over-year decline, and is notably below Bloomberg&#8217;s consensus of $3.85.
Per Paolone, the key factor driving these downward revisions is a reduction in capitalized interest, which comes from assuming that another $1 billion in land and projects, not part of KOP II, will be excluded from active development.
This includes an estimated $600+ million in capital from the Flower Mart project, over $200 million from the SIX0 development, and an additional $100-$200 million from various smaller projects, contributing to the lowered projections, Paolone adds.
Price Action: KRC shares are trading higher by 1.10% to $33.22 at last check Wednesday.

Office buildings are one oof the most unloved asset classes on the planet right now
Wall Street hates them.
The financial media hates them even more.
Your average employee hates the very idea that office buildings existed in the first place
Investors are convinced that it is not too terribly long before a trip to New York will involve meeting up with Kurt Russell wearing an eye patch in a post -office real estate apocalypse world.
No one wants to go to work anymore.
The pandemic changed the office market forever and anyone who can work from&nbsp; home will do so.
While all that is true, investors are overlooking the fact that increasingly employers want their employees back to in the office.
The government, the banks, private equity and high-tech companies have all sounded recall.
They want their people back.
Corporations are also taking advantage of the opportunity to downsize and upgrade their office space, and this is creating demand for&nbsp; one segment of the office market that could deliver huge profits for patient aggressive&nbsp; investors
The demand for Class A office space in major U.S. cities has continued to rise, despite ongoing challenges in the broader commercial real estate market. This trend reflects a growing preference for high-quality, well-located office properties as companies seek to enhance employee experience and align real estate decisions with corporate objectives.
According to CBRE, base and net effective rents for Class A+/A office buildings have increased by 3.1% and 5.2%, respectively, since 2023. This rent growth contrasts sharply with the performance of lower-tier properties, where rents have declined as landlords struggle to attract tenants. The strong demand for Class A space has allowed landlords to reduce concessions, including tenant improvement allowances and free rent, which were more prevalent in previous years.
A key driver behind the increased demand for Class A office space is the &#8220;flight-to-quality&#8221; trend. Many corporate occupiers are prioritizing office environments that offer premium amenities, advanced technology, and sustainable features. Employees returning to offices in hybrid or full-time capacities are seeking higher-quality workspaces, prompting firms to lease properties that promote collaboration and well-being.
In New York, office leasing activity has seen a resurgence, particularly in premium office towers. As workers return to offices, demand for prime locations has intensified, leading to a more competitive market for Class A spaces. Similarly, other major cities, including San Francisco and Chicago, are witnessing a bifurcation in office leasing trends, where well-positioned, high-quality buildings continue to attract tenants, while older and less-equipped buildings struggle with rising vacancies.
While Class A office buildings continue to perform well, the outlook for Class B and C properties is less favorable. CBRE's analysis indicates that rents for these properties have declined by 5.7% and 1.2%, respectively, as tenants seek to upgrade their office spaces. In many cases, landlords of lower-tier properties have been forced to lower rents or repurpose office buildings for alternative uses, such as residential conversions.
The office real estate investment trust (REIT) sector is dominated by a few large players that own and manage extensive portfolios of Class A office buildings.
<ul>
<li>Boston Properties (Ticker: BXP) is the largest publicly traded office REIT, with a focus on high-quality office properties in major urban markets, including Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. The company's portfolio consists of premier office towers and mixed-use developments that cater to top-tier tenants in finance, technology, and professional services. Boston Properties pays an annual dividend of $3.92 per share, resulting in a dividend yield of 5.68%. </li>
<li>Kilroy Realty (Ticker: KRC) specializes in Class A office properties along the West Coast, with a significant presence in markets like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego. The REIT is known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation, owning state-of-the-art office buildings that appeal to leading technology and life sciences companies. Kilroy Realty currently offers a dividend yield of approximately 5.58%. </li>
<li>Alexandria Real Estate Equities (Ticker: ARE) focuses on life sciences office space, particularly in research and innovation hubs like Boston, San Francisco, and San Diego. Its portfolio consists of high-end laboratory and office facilities leased to biotech and pharmaceutical companies, positioning the REIT as a leader in the life sciences real estate sector. Alexandria Real Estate Equities declared a quarterly dividend of $1.32 per share, totaling $5.28 annually, which translates to a dividend yield of approximately 5.17%.</li>
</ul>
Conclusion The demand for Class A office space in major U.S. cities remains strong as companies continue to prioritize quality, location, and employee experience. While the broader office market faces structural challenges, particularly for lower-tier properties, well-located, amenity-rich office buildings are outperforming. This trend underscores the ongoing transformation of the office sector, where premium spaces are becoming a critical differentiator for companies looking to attract and retain top talent.
The largest publicly traded office REITs, including Boston Properties, Kilroy Realty, and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, continue to dominate the market by focusing on high-end office properties that align with evolving tenant preferences while offering solid dividend yields to investors.
