Office REIT stocks crashed 6.72% in mid-February 2026, hitting their lowest level since July 2009, as AI-driven remote work fears intensified.

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both declined, dropping 1.39% and 1.23% respectively, amid broader economic uncertainty. Investor concerns over AI reducing office space demand accelerated the sell-off, signaling structural shifts in commercial real estate.
