PSA Stock Recent News

The Fed held rates steady and now projects only two cuts this year, with slower GDP growth and higher inflation expected in 2025-2026. Tariffs remain a net economic negative, with most of their inflationary and growth-dampening effects still ahead of us. AI and Big Tech capital expenditures are driving resilient U.S. GDP growth, offsetting broader economic fragility and tariff headwinds.

REITweek, the annual REIT industry conference, was held last week in New York City. Humbled by frustratingly persistent interest rate headwinds and historic underperformance, the venue halls were again quiet.

AI will significantly disrupt the world economy and most investments. Some property sectors will suffer, while others will benefit. We present the three biggest hidden winners.

REITs offer diversified, inflation-hedged income and capital appreciation, making them a compelling addition to any long-term investment portfolio.

The recent market selloff in dividend stocks, especially REITs and utilities, presents attractive buying opportunities despite broader indices holding up. The House budget bill's rapid rollback of clean energy tax credits triggered a sharp selloff in renewables, but I see this as a long-term buying opportunity.

Land symbolized wealth and prosperity in humankind's earliest times, long before the stock market existed. That hasn't changed much.

Public Storage's preferred equity offers a well-covered 6.1% yield, making it attractive for income-focused investors given the low payout ratio versus FFO. The REIT's preferred dividends are well-covered, needing only 6.3% of Core FFO, with a substantial common equity cushion of over $5 billion. Series F preferred shares, trading at $20.99, offer a 6.13% yield with potential for capital gains if interest rates decrease.
