Investec issued an ‘add’ rating and target price of 834p to the self-storage company’s stock ahead of its third quarter results on Tuesday.
“We forecast a three-year earnings per share and dividend per share compound annual growth rate of 12.2% driven by further occupancy and rental growth,” said Investec analyst Alison Watson.
“Meanwhile the business model’s non-reliance on the capital cycle (i.e. yield compression) is particularly attractive at this point in the property cycle.”
Investec predicts earnings per share of 30.9p in the full-year 2016, rising to 34.7p in 2016 and 38.4p in 2018, implying 42% growth over three years.
Shares fell 2.54% to 20.50p at 1317 GMT.
