Juan C. Sanabria has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that emphasize SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc.’s positioning heading into the key 2026 leasing season. He highlights that the company’s fundamentals will be closely tied to how demand, move-in rates, and occupancy perform versus management’s guidance and 2025 benchmarks, and he views the setup as favorable enough to justify maintaining a positive stance.

Sanabria also points to the uneven but generally constructive industry backdrop, where SmartStop’s ability to manage same-store revenue and net operating income growth, while navigating mixed regional demand trends, supports his outlook. Given these dynamics, he keeps his price target unchanged at $36, reflecting confidence that the shares offer attractive risk/reward as the company executes through peak season and upcoming quarters.
