Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openIndustry projections show self-storage facility deliveries falling 19.6% in 2026 as a slower construction pipeline gives operators room to work through the oversupply built up during the pandemic.
An opinion piece compares two self-storage REITs and argues CubeSmart may offer better upside than Public Storage, noting the sector is unusually cheap after recent oversupply. This is an analyst's comparative view, not a company-specific announcement from Public Storage.
An investment commentary argues that Public Storage's preferred stocks, which pay nearly 7% and currently trade below their face value, are being mispriced. The article attributes the discount to broad interest rate moves driven by Fed rate hikes rather than any concern about PSA's ability to pay, and points to PSA's investment-grade credit rating, debt equal to roughly 2.9 times annual earnings, and assets covering preferred obligations by more than 10 times as evidence the company is financially strong.
Public Storage declared a $3.00 per share dividend, payable October 6, 2026 to shareholders of record by September 15, 2026, extending a streak of distributions that dates back to 1985. The announcement also revealed a dividend payout ratio of 1.17, meaning the company paid out more to shareholders than it earned, which is prompting fresh questions about whether cash flows can keep funding the rising payouts.
Public Storage's Canadian subsidiary, PS Canada Finance ULC, completed an offering of C$400 million in senior notes due 2033, carrying a 4.540% interest rate. Public Storage and its operating subsidiary PSOC are guaranteeing the notes, creating a direct financial obligation for the parent company.
