Public Storage is a real estate investment trust. Co. acquires, develops, owns and operates self-storage facilities, which provide storage spaces for lease on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. Co. is an owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the U.S. in most primary markets and states. A wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of Co. reinsures such policies and thereby assumes various risk of losses under these policies and receives reinsurance premiums substantially equal to the premiums collected from its tenants, from the non-affiliated insurance company. In addition, Co. sells merchandise, primarily locks and cardboard boxes at its self-storage facilities. The PSA stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the PSA stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2022 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the PSA annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
