What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of PSA's valuation, growth and risks.
On earnings, Public Storage (PSA) is valued at 28.18 times, against a median of 44.7 for Real Estate: a discount to peers, with the P/E 37.0% below that median. PSA trades at 11.24 times its sales, 8.1% above the sector median of 10.4. The company has a market capitalisation of $55.7B and trailing earnings of $10.48 a share.
With revenue growth of 3.30%, PSA is 7.7 percentage points slower than the sector median of 11.0%. The business converts sales into profit at a net margin of 41.63% and an operating margin of 45.70%. Shareholders' capital earns 21.93%, above the sector median of 5.8%, measured as return on equity. The balance sheet and payout round out the picture, with debt-to-equity of 1.10 and a trailing dividend yield of 4.02% ($12.00 a share a year).
The July 29, 2026 report missed the estimate by 3.16%, with EPS of $2.45 against the $2.53 that analysts expected. In the first session after the report, the share price dropped 3.64%.
Over its last 5 reports, PSA topped the estimate 3 times, yet the stock fell in the first session after every one of those 3 beats. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $9.77 this fiscal year (a decline of 4.5%) and $9.85 the year after (growth of 0.8%).
On a typical day the price of PSA shifts by 1.16%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. Insiders sold $772K over the last 18 months and bought $199K, though sales of this kind are often planned in advance and say less than purchases would.

Earnings miss ›
The July 29, 2026 report missed the EPS estimate by 3.16%, and the share price fell 3.64% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, July 29, 2026
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 200-day SMA at $300.98 overhead and the 20-day EMA at $290.77 underneath.
- The 14-day RSI reads 58.0, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- The share price fell 3.64% in the first session after the July 29, 2026 report, even though PSA had beaten estimates in 3 of the last 5 reports.
PSA sits below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($302.12 and $300.98), and that is why the trend reads down. A move back above the 200-day would be the first sign of repair. That average, at $300.98, is the nearest level above the price.
The next level below the price is the 20-day EMA, at $290.77.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in PSA, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in PSA today could grow to about $16,129 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $42,155 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $6,171. The simulation models price only; at today's 4.02% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
PSA Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $361 for PSA by 2030 in the base case, from $298 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $197. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on PSA's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.

| 2028 | $214 | $328 | $504 | |
