If You Bought CubeSmart Stock 10 Years Ago

The company's stock traded at approximately $21.64 per share 10 years ago. If you had invested $10,000, you could have bought roughly 462 shares.

On Oct. 31, the company announced its Q3 2024 earnings, posting an FFO of $0.67, in line with expectations and revenues of $270.89 million, beating the consensus estimate of $265.272 million, as reported by Benzinga.

"The third quarter saw a continuation of trends as we remain in a competitive environment for new customer rental rates while the existing customer remains very resilient," commented President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher P. Marr. 

The company estimates that its fully diluted earnings per share for 2024 will be between $1.72 and $1.76 and that its fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2024 will be between $2.62 and $2.66. 

Given just a 6% expected upside potential, growth-focused investors may not find CubeSmart stock attractive. Conversely, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors, who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 4.37% and consistent hikes. CubeSmart has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 13 years.
