Trading above historical range
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CUZ is currently trading at $25.81, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $23.35 to $26.20.

Technical Outlook: Technically, CUZ is in a downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $25.33. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
