Research Alert: Public Storage: Revenue And Ffo Beat, Same-store Noi Growth Now Positive In Q1

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:PSA reported Q1 revenue of $1.21B, up 2.9% from $1.18B in Q1 2025 and $7M ahead of consensus estimates. Same-store performance showed continued stabilization with revenue now flat at $1.0B, while NOI increased 0.4% to $739M, marking a positive inflection point. Declining repairs and maintenance costs (-5.8%) and marketing expenses (-4.5%) created meaningful tailwinds for positive same-store NOI growth in Q1, demonstrating effective cost management. Despite the improvement in same-store revenue and NOI performance in Q1, PSA maintained its prior guidance for same-store NOI growth down 3.9% to down 0.5% for FY 26. The company's disciplined cost management initiatives appear to be supporting margin expansion even as revenue growth remains modest across the portfolio. We believe the maintained guidance suggests management remains appropriately cautious about the broader operating environment despite the encouraging Q1 stabilization trends in key metrics.

Research Alert: Sanmina Corporation Beats Q2 Fy 26 Expectations On Strong Demand For Zt Systems

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:SANM delivered exceptional Q2 results, with revenue of $4.01B (+102% Y/Y) and non-GAAP EPS of $3.16 (+124% Y/Y), crushing guidance of $2.55-$2.85. ZT Systems significantly outperformed expectations with accelerated compute shipments, while core Sanmina grew 7.3% independently. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 6.4% from 5.6% prior year, validating our thesis that ZT can deliver immediate accretion while maintaining operational discipline during integration. Management raised FY 26 revenue guidance to $13.7B-$14.3B, based on strong performance and AI infrastructure backlogs visibility. We believe the combination positions SANM well for continued AI infrastructure strategy execution, supported by robust balance sheet with $1.58B cash and new $600M share repurchase authorization. However, elevated leverage from $2.17B total debt requires monitoring despite strong $342M Q2 free cash flow generation comfortably supporting debt service requirements.
