Public Storage stock reflected a USD 1.2 billion Canada expansion as the shares stood at USD 284.56 in Nasdaq after-hours trading on September 24, 2026. The company completed its acquisition of Public Storage Canada on September 1, 2026, according to Business Wire.
Canada adds operating scale
Public Storage paid USD 1.2 billion at closing, consisting of USD 900 million in operating partnership units and USD 310 million in cash. The transaction expands the self-storage REIT's platform beyond its established US portfolio and adds a concrete growth element to the current investment case.
The deal followed the company's inaugural Canadian debt offering of CAD 400 million in senior notes due 2033, announced on September 9, 2026, according to Public Storage. The financing gives the company an additional capital-market channel while the acquisition increases its exposure to Canadian storage demand.
EPS beat masks revenue pressure
Second-quarter 2026 adjusted EPS was USD 4.17, exceeding the USD 2.53 consensus by USD 1.64, while revenue reached USD 1.23 billion and declined 0.5 percent from the prior-year quarter. MarketBeat reported the figures and said fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stood at USD 16.75-17.05.
The contrast matters for investors. Earnings exceeded expectations by a wide margin, but the revenue comparison shows that acquisition-led expansion and cost control remain important as same-store operating trends develop.
Stock remains below yearly high
Public Storage stock stood at USD 284.56 on September 24, 2026, in Nasdaq after-hours trading, down USD 2.17 or 0.76 percent from the prior reference level. Its 52-week range was USD 256.54 to USD 335.55, placing the price USD 50.99 below the yearly high and USD 28.02 above the low.
Market capitalization was USD 53,063,610,560 on September 24, 2026. The figures put the Canada transaction at roughly 2.3 percent of equity value, linking the acquisition's size to the market value investors are assigning to Public Storage.
