What are Wall Street analysts saying about Public Storage stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Public Storage stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Public Storage is a recognized and established name in the self-storage industry in the United States. Further, the company is benefiting from decent industry fundamentals and expansion efforts. The company’s better-than expected third-quarter 2018 core funds from operations (FFO) per share reflected improvement in net operating income (NOI) from same-store and non-same store facilities. Higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot supported the company’s same-store performance. However, shares of Public Storage have underperformed the industry it belongs to, in the past three months. Moreover, the trend in estimate revisions of current-quarter FFO per share does not indicate a favorable outlook for the company. Notably, supply has been rising in a number of its markets. This limits its power to raise rents and turn on more discounting. Additionally, rate hike has added to its woes." (11/20/2018)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "There was slight seq. deceleration in SS revenue growth in 4Q. The company was focused on rents as occupancy declined. The company doesn’t provide guidance; our current 2018 SSNOI estimate is 2.0%." (2/21/2018)
