Description: PSA Public Storage January 28, 2026
Public Storage (NYSE: PSA) is an S&P 500 REIT that acquires, develops, owns, and operates self-storage facilities. As of September 30 2025 the company owned or operated 3,491 U.S. sites (≈254 million net rentable square feet) across 40 states and held a 35 % equity stake in Shurgard Self Storage, which runs 323 facilities (≈18 million square feet) in seven Western European countries.
Recent performance metrics show an industry-wide occupancy rate of 94 % in Q4 2024, with PSA’s average rent per rentable square foot climbing to $1.55 (≈5 % YoY). Despite a 6 % increase in the 10-year Treasury yield, PSA delivered a 5 % year-over-year growth in funds-from-operations (FFO) and maintained a dividend payout ratio of 75 %, underscoring its cash-flow resilience. Key demand drivers remain strong: continued e-commerce growth, urban housing shortages, and a shift toward “just-in-time” inventory storage are expanding the addressable market for self-storage.
