EXR: Slower Recovery And New Partnership Shape Balanced Future Prospects

The analyst price target for Extra Space Storage has shifted slightly lower to about $151.85 from $154.15, as analysts factor in softer projected revenue growth, a modestly lower profit margin profile, and expectations that its P/E multiple could align more closely with peers following recent sector downgrades and target cuts.
