Deep Analysis

The debt-to-equity ratio measures how much debt a company uses relative to its shareholders' equity; PSA's 1.11x means it has $1.11 of debt for every $1 of equity.

This is above the sector median of 0.73x, placing PSA in the 68th percentile among peers, so its leverage is higher than most comparable companies. The year-over-year change is not available, and the quarter-over-quarter change is +1.8%, with the most recent values being 1.11x versus 1.09x prior. Because the ratio is above the sector norm but only drifting up slightly, the higher debt load adds some financial risk without a sharp deterioration. This level and trend support the NEUTRAL verdict: the elevated leverage is a caution, but it is not moving quickly enough to shift the outlook in either direction.
