Public Storage declined 2.01% to $295.54 amid a sector-wide REIT selloff driven by rising Treasury yields, which reduce the relative appeal of dividend-paying real estate stocks to income investors (Yahoo Finance). The decline also reflects softer same-store net operating income metrics and integration timelines from recent portfolio expansions, particularly Public Storage Canada and National Storage Affiliates. Volume of 180,630 shares ran 0.59x the time-adjusted average, indicating below-average trading interest.
