Goldman Sachs initiates coverage on Extra Space Storage (NYSE: EXR) with a Conviction Buy List rating and $40 price target, suggesting 21% upside.
"We believe a superior FFO growth rate (we forecast five-year growth 59% versus 42% for our coverage universe) will continue to attract investor interest," the analyst said.
Outsized growth will come from:
1. Continued lease-up of unstabilized assets. Goldman notes that the company had 2.1 million square feet of unstabilized assets that were only 65% leased at the start of the year. Stabilization of these assets will add 2% FFO by 2013, the firm estimates.
2. Strong storage internal growth on a leverage balance sheet. Goldman notes that a 10% increase in EBITDA adds 15% to FFO versus only 13% for Public Storage
