Public Storage reported first-quarter core funds from operations (FFO) above analyst expectations, supported by better occupancy levels and stronger move-in rates across its portfolio.


Core FFO for the quarter stood at USD 4.22 per share, higher than the average analyst estimate of USD 4.12 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company indicated that demand remained steady, with both occupancy and customer move-ins performing better than initially anticipated.

The Glendale, California-based real estate investment trust stated that its integrated operating platform helped offset inflationary pressures on operating costs. This allowed the company to maintain margins despite a challenging cost environment. Such operational efficiencies have been a key focus area for REITs, especially as rising expenses continue to impact the sector.

Revenue for the quarter came in at USD 1.22 billion, slightly above the estimated USD 1.21 billion, reflecting stable income generation from its self-storage assets. The company, which is the world’s largest owner of self-storage facilities, also reaffirmed its full-year core FFO guidance in the range of USD 16.35 to USD 17 per share, indicating confidence in its performance outlook.

Shares of the company saw a marginal increase in after-hours trading following the announcement, suggesting a positive market response to the results.

In a recent development, the company had announced plans to acquire smaller rival National Storage Affiliates in an all-stock transaction valued at around USD 10.5 billion, including debt. The move is expected to strengthen its market position and expand its footprint in the self-storage segment. The sector has seen steady demand over the past few years, driven by urbanisation, mobility trends, and increased need for flexible storage solutions.
