Cantor Fitzgerald initiates coverage on Public Storage (NYSE: PSA) with a Sell. PT $133.50.

Cantor analyst said, "Public Storage is the industry behemoth, with a ironclad balance sheet and ample liquidity. The stock trades with premiums to net asset value (NAV) given insulation from capital markets and defensive cash flows. Although well positioned for above-average growth longer-term, recent core performance has only slightly topped smaller peers. Given current pricing, we believe the stock to be fully valued. Our broad REIT call underwrites burn-off of the "safety & liquidity premium" across 2012; as such, PSA could underperform peers."
