Description: CUBE CubeSmart October 31, 2025
CubeSmart (NYSE:CUBE) operates as a self-administered REIT that owned or managed 1,532 self-storage facilities across the United States as of June 30 2025, placing it among the top three U.S. owners/operators per the 2025 Self-Storage Almanac. The company’s stated mission is to ease customers’ logistical challenges through innovative, affordable, and largely climate-controlled storage solutions for both residential and commercial users.
Key operational metrics that augment this picture include a reported occupancy rate of roughly 96 % for 2024, which is above the industry average of ~93 % and supports strong same-store net operating income (NOI) growth of about 5 % year-over-year. Rental rates have risen modestly, with average monthly rents increasing ~3 % YoY, reflecting broader inflationary pressure and heightened demand from e-commerce businesses needing flexible inventory space. A primary sector driver is the continued shortage of new supply relative to demand, as developers face higher construction costs and tighter financing conditions, which tends to bolster pricing power for existing operators like CubeSmart.
