Public Storage (PSA) has filed an 8-K to disclose an investor presentation that includes a limited operating update for a portion of the second quarter of 2026 (April 1 through May 28). The update focuses on same-store facilities, providing key metrics on customer move-ins and move-outs, occupancy, and rental rates.
