Public Storage adds 60 rooftop solar projects and raises 2026 guidance
Public Storage is partnering with Commonwealth Edison and Solar Landscape to install 60 rooftop community solar projects across northern Illinois over two years, while reporting second-quarter 2026 revenue of US$1,232.88 million and net income of US$499.96 million. The company also completed a US$900.00 million senior notes offering to fund acquisitions including National Storage Affiliates and the expansion of solar across roughly five million square feet of rooftop space. Management raised its 2026 guidance, projecting US$5.3 billion in revenue and US$2.0 billion in earnings by 2029, requiring 3.0% yearly revenue growth and a roughly US$0.3 billion earnings increase from the current US$1.7 billion. The solar push and balance sheet moves are part of a strategy to convert underused real estate into additional income streams and cleaner energy infrastructure, though elevated marketing and discounting remain a near-term watchpoint.
