Latest news for National Storage (OTC:NTSGF) Stock

National Storage REIT is the largest self-storage provider in Australia and New Zealand. Most of its properties are owned and operated, but it also has long-term leaseholds, and a fund that it owns a stake in alongside co-investors. Most NSR centers are in the city fringe, suburban and regional areas. The industry is fragmented, mostly comprising single site owners, while the largest three players, NSR, privately owned Kennards, and the listed Abacus Storage King operate over a third of the market. NSR plans to continue acquiring and developing self-storage centers, consolidating the fragmented industry, as well generating organic growth via dynamic pricing and occupancy management. However, its large rivals are competing via similar strategies.

Amid Boeing Co.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39384624/boeings-search-for-new-ceo-persists-as-calhoun-faces-congressional-hearing">ongoing CEO search</a>, Stephanie Pope, the internal favorite for the position, has taken the spotlight at the Farnborough International Airshow.
What Happened: Pope, who currently heads Boeing&#8217;s commercial airplane unit, has been actively engaging with customers and journalists at the airshow, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-26/boeing-s-pope-makes-mark-at-aviation-show-as-ceo-search-heats-up">reported</a> on Thursday. This move has been seen as an attempt to bolster her case for the top job at the embattled aerospace company.
Boeing is currently grappling with a series of crises, including financial instability, and trust issues with regulators and the public. The company&#8217;s board is under pressure to appoint a leader who can navigate these challenges.
Pope, 52, has been working to stabilize Boeing&#8217;s factory operations in Seattle, where the majority of the company&#8217;s manufacturing activities are based. She was appointed to lead the planemaking unit in March, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38906756/boeings-outgoing-ceo-dave-calhoun-reelected-to-board-despite-safety-concerns-at-company">coinciding with the announcement of current CEO</a> Dave Calhoun&#8216;s impending departure.

Despite her background in finance and relatively short tenure in manufacturing, Pope has been endorsed by Calhoun as his natural successor. Her proactive approach at the airshow, including meeting with customers to address their concerns about delayed aircraft deliveries, has been well-received.
"I'm impressed with her, I think she's a quick learner," said John Plueger, the CEO of&nbsp;Air Lease Corp. 
"I'll restate that 24/7 I'm focused on the BCA recovery," Pope said. BCA is an acronym for Boeing's commercial airplane business. "That is my priority and that is my focus."
Pat Shanahan, CEO of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>), and a former Boeing executive is a leading candidate as the planemaker looks to consolidate its former aerostructures division. According to the report, directors have been intently reviewing other external candidates as well.
Why It Matters: The Farnborough Airshow appearance comes at a crucial time for Boeing. Recently, Boeing resumed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39928770/boeing-resumes-737-max-deliveries-to-china-after-regulatory-delay-report">737 MAX deliveries to China</a> after a regulatory delay, marking a significant step in restoring its global operations. This comes after a prolonged halt due to a review of the batteries powering the cockpit voice recorder.
Boeing&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39878752/boeings-commercial-market-outlook-predicts-soaring-demand-44-000-new-airplanes-needed-by-2043">Commercial Market Outlook</a> predicted a 3% increase in airplane deliveries over the next 20 years, estimating a need for nearly 44,000 new commercial airplanes by 2043. This forecast highlights the potential growth in the aviation sector, driven by emerging markets and single-aisle market demand.
However, Boeing also faces internal challenges. Last week, Washington state factory workers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39836988/boeing-workers-vote-for-strike-mandate">voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike mandate</a>, demanding a 40% raise during their first full negotiation with Boeing in 16 years. This mandate, with over 99% approval, underscores the workers&#8217; determination but also adds pressure on the company&#8217;s management.
Price Action: Boeing stock closed at $184.35 on Thursday, up 2.38% for the day. In pre-market trading, the stock rose 0.46%. However, the stock is down $67.41, or 26.78%, year to date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Centene Increased Its 2024 Premium And Service Revenues Guidance Range By $5B To $141B-$143B To Reflect An Additional $2B Commercial Premium Revenue, $2B Medicare Premium Revenue And $1B Medicaid Premium Revenue

The question of whether former President Donald Trump might replace Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his vice presidential candidate has been raised. This speculation is due to Vance&#8217;s underwhelming polling and the growing momentum of Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite Trump&#8217;s continued support for Vance, the possibility of a replacement is being discussed.
What Happened: Republican Party rules technically allow Trump to select a new running mate. However, such a decision would need to be made swiftly. The party could either reconvene its national convention or proceed with a vote of the smaller group of Republican National Committee members to determine Vance&#8217;s replacement, Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-donald-trump-could-replace-jd-vance-vice-president-poll-2024-7">reported</a> on Friday.
Time is a significant factor, with early voting beginning in some states in September. Amy Dacey, former CEO of the Democratic National Committee, and Kenneth Mayer, a recently retired political science professor, both highlighted the complications that arise once ballots are printed. They described the potential replacement of Vance as &#8220;extraordinarily disruptive.&#8221;
&#8220;I think sometimes what people forget is that people start voting in September&#8230;And the worst case scenario would be for your nominees not to appear on a ballot in a state,&#8221; Dacey said. 
Despite the speculation, Trump reaffirmed his support for Vance on Thursday, stating that Vance was &#8220;doing a great job.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Vance&#8217;s selection as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39873381/trump-vp-pick-j-d-vance-worth-watching-for-potential-google-breakup-market-strategist-says-not-a">Trump&#8217;s running mate</a> had implications for several sectors, particularly the cryptocurrency industry, due to his pro-crypto stance and Bitcoin holdings. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39916075/j-d-vance-venture-capital-background-under-scrutiny-it-never-seemed-like-he-was-even-working-it-">Vance&#8217;s venture capital</a> background and his short political career have come under scrutiny.
Nobel Prize-winning economist, Paul Krugman, highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39975790/trump-vp-choice-jd-vance-is-a-tech-bro-pick-says-paul-krugman-same-people-last-year-were-infatuated">Vance&#8217;s strong backing </a>from the tech community, the same group that had previously shown a strong interest in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This connection has brought Vance&#8217;s selection as VP candidate under the spotlight.
