Public Storage Operating Company priced $500 million of 5.000% senior notes due 2035, priced at 99.182% of par value, in an announcement made on April 2 2026.
The notes were issued by PSOC, guaranteed by Public Storage, with BofA Securities and J.P. Morgan Securities serving as joint book‑running managers. Closing is expected on April 6 2026.
Proceeds will support ongoing capital allocation and liquidity needs, including potential financing of the National Storage Affiliates acquisition and future development projects. The issuance aligns with the company’s strategy to maintain a strong balance sheet and fund growth.
Public Storage’s Q4 2025 results showed earnings per share of $4.26 versus an analyst estimate of $3.18, driven by disciplined cost management and robust same‑store revenue growth in 56% of markets. Total debt stood at $10.3 billion as of December 31 2025, indicating the company’s capacity to take on additional debt while preserving credit quality.
The company’s credit rating remains strong, with S&P affirming an ‘A’ issuer rating in March 2026, and Moody’s assigning an A2 rating to its unsecured bonds. The new notes add to a diversified debt portfolio that supports the company’s long‑term growth strategy.
While the issuance is a routine financing activity, it underscores Public Storage’s continued access to capital markets and its readiness to fund strategic initiatives such as the NSA acquisition, which is expected to close in Q3 2026 and expand the company’s footprint in Sunbelt markets.
No immediate market reaction has been reported for this specific debt issuance, but the broader market has noted the company’s ongoing acquisition activity and capital allocation strategy.
