BofA Upgrades Self-Storage REITs
The U.S. is poised to enter a recession amid the growing coronavirus pandemic, but this outlook is favorable for self-storage companies, according to BofA Securities.The Analyst Jeffrey Spector upgraded Life Storage Inc (NYSE: LSI) from Neutral to Buy with a price target lowered from $126 to $117.The analyst also upgraded Public Storage (NYSE: PSA) from Neutral to Buy with a price target lifted from $254 from $267.The Thesis Self-Storage REIT companies offer investors exposure to a "relatively defensive sector" within the broader real estate segment for three reasons, Spector wrote in a note. These include: * Demand for storage space is mostly sticky during recessions and higher during more severe recessions. * Existing users will stay in place so occupancy rates will remain stable and offer cash flow and stability. * Demand for storage will become "more of a necessity" today versus in the past.Life Storage: 'Rent Now' Initiative Life Storage's "Rent Now" initiative lets customers reserve and execute a lease without human interactions, Spector wrote. This move would be well accepted amid current demands for "social distancing" and result in a reduction in payroll expenses at the company level.Life Storage was better positioned to manage marketing expenses compared to its peers in 2019 and this should play out throughout 2020.Public Storage: Liquidity And Minimal Debt Spencer said Public Storage boasts "ample" liquidity along with "minimal" debt, which makes it well-positioned to operate throughout any downturn. Specifically, the company has $400 million in cash on hand with minimal debt obligations in 2020.The company's recent move to withdraw a $1.2 billion offer to acquire Australia-based NSR gives it even more liquidity to seek out future M&A opportunities.LSI and PSA Price Action Shares of Life Storage were trading higher by more than 10% at $77.68, while shares of Public Storage were higher by more than 4% at $167.72.Related Links:El-Erian Says Our Economic Situation Has Reached 'Critical Mass'Plunge In Oil Prices, Coronavirus Sell-Off Signal Recession, Analyst SaysSee more from Benzinga * Tuesday Is 'Great American Takeout' Day * Virgin Galactic Is A Buy After 70% Stock Decline, Morgan Stanley Says In Upgrade * BTIG's Emanuel Says Stocks Risk 1987's 40% Downside Scenario If Senate Doesn't Act(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.
