Analysts Favor Public Storage (PSA) Over Retail and Cold Storage REITs

TheFly reported on January 20 that Truist Securities raised its price target on PSA to $317 from $315 and maintained a Buy rating. The adjustment was made as part of Truist’s 2026 outlook for the REIT sector. The firm noted that REIT fundamentals are improving as new supply slows and demand remains steady for high-quality assets, though valuations across the sector do not appear particularly cheap.

In contrast, earlier on January 13, Barclays lowered its price target on Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) to $331 from $349 while maintaining an Overweight rating. This adjustment was also a part of the PSA’s 2026 outlook for the REIT sector. Barclays sees the most upside in apartments, storage, and single-family rentals, while it is least positive on cold storage and retail, and remains Neutral on REITs overall for 2026.
