Did PSA Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Public Storage delivered a sharply split second quarter, with a GAAP earnings miss that obscured more resilient underlying operations. The self-storage REIT posted earnings of $1.76 per diluted share for Q2 2025, falling 31.09% short of the $2.55 consensus estimate, as a $146.07 million foreign currency exchange loss on Euro-denominated notes payable weighed heavily on reported income. Revenue of $1.20 billion edged up 2.4% year-over-year and essentially met estimates, while Core FFO, the metric most closely watched by REIT investors, rose 1.0% to $4.28 per diluted share, reflecting steadier operational footing. Same-store occupancy dipped 40 basis points to 92.6% and same-store NOI declined 0.6%, pressured by rising property taxes and marketing costs. Shares slid following the print, with the headline EPS miss drawing investor scrutiny. Looking ahead, management raised the low end of its full-year Core FFO guidance to a range of $16.45 to $17.00 per share, supported by an accelerating acquisition pipeline expected to exceed $1.10 billion in total 2025 investment activity.
