Investor Targets More Safestore Shares After 25.9% SIPP Return
1 articles · Updated · twelfthmagpie.com · Jul 5
Summary
A 25.9% annual return has prompted the investor to increase their Safestore Holdings position, keeping faith with a cash-generation and dividend-growth strategy in a high-rate environment.
Safestore stands out for 16 straight years of revenue, earnings, cash flow and dividend growth, supported by its leading UK self-storage position and resilient demand.
Expansion is a key draw: Safestore’s half-year Expansion Markets revenue rose 25.7%, while Spain posted 21.2% like-for-like growth as management builds out in fragmented European markets.
Risks remain around occupancy and margins, which have yet to recover to levels seen five years ago; a renewed rise in interest rates could pressure customer demand and lease retention.
