Hedgeye Cartoon of the Day: BUY HIGH, SELL LOW
Tickers: CUBE, EXR, LSI, NSA, PSA
Subsector: Self-Storage
Headline: 2H22 slowdown coming; PSA most attractive here
- We have updated our self-storage model assumptions post-4Q21 results and pre-1Q22 (see Figure 1 below).
- The 2H22 SSRev, SSNOI, EBITDA and Core FFO RoC slowdowns remain clearly on track, in our view, primarily on increasingly difficult base effects following the performance realized in 2021.
- We continue prefer Long Bench name Public Storage (PSA) as (1) Core FFO earnings growth should remain in the low-double-digit to mid-teens range throughout FY22, which sets PSA apart from the rest of the space (decelerating into the high-single-digits) and is relatively attractive from a RoC perspective, (2) we think the company is being conservative on growth coming out of the non-same store pool (most important for PSA versus the others) and the Street is underestimating that growth, and (3) PSA is priced most attractively in our view on both an absolute multiple basis and relative to forward growth, which all else the same offers more downside protection in a Quad 4 setup in 2Q.
- The only things keeping PSA off of our Best Idea Long list (and why we took it off in late-2021) are (1) the very weak historical performance of self-storage REITs in a Quad 4, which is among the worst of all REIT subsectors, and (2) that both buy- and sell-side expectations have broadly caught up to where we think numbers should be, relative to the enormous spread in early-2021 when we first launched.
