Juan C. Sanabria has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to National Storage Affiliates’ recent performance and strategic outlook. The company has shown potential for growth, particularly with its internalization efforts and improved occupancy and rate trends, which are expected to lead to a revenue inflection in the second half of 2025. However, initial missteps in the internalization process have posed challenges, and the company has yet to close the occupancy gap between previously PRO-managed stores and corporate-managed ones.
Despite these challenges, NSA remains confident in delivering positive revenue growth in 2026, and there is optimism about the potential for enhanced industry growth. The company is actively working on strategies such as paid search and discounts to drive rentals, while also focusing on maturing its web brands. Employee turnover has decreased, and the team is fully staffed, which bodes well for future execution. However, the uncertainties and current market dynamics justify a Hold rating as the company navigates these opportunities and challenges.
In another report released on August 8, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $36.00 price target.
