SmartStop reports Q3 2026 earnings, raises full‑year guidance and announces acquisitions and joint venture

SmartStop Self Storage REIT posted third‑quarter net income of about $9.0 million, or $0.16 per share, and total revenues of $68.2 million, all up versus 2025. Adjusted FFO rose to $30.3 million, or $0.51 per share, and same‑store revenue grew 2.0% while same‑store NOI increased 4.9% on a reported basis. The company lifted its full‑year adjusted FFO guidance to $2.01‑$2.05 per share and announced a $53 million investment in a Canadian joint venture, a $37 million acquisition of two properties, a $200 million CAD Maple Bond issuance, and a plan to dispose of $75‑$125 million of non‑core assets starting in 2027.

The raised FFO guidance signals higher expected cash flow for shareholders, while the capital deployment and upcoming disposals could affect leverage and dilute per‑share earnings in the short term. Investors will watch the execution of the joint venture and acquisitions for future growth.
