Douglas Emmett, Inc. (NYSE:DEI)is a REIT that owns an irreplaceable portfolio of office and apartment buildings concentrated in California and Hawaii. Disappointing share performance was driven by third quarter financial results and a management outlook that was weaker than analysts expected. Office leasing activity has slowed, which is pressuring the company’s occupancy, rents, and cash flow.”
