Analysis Summary

Well, looks like PSA passed all nine of my tests with flying colors. A high ROE and ROIC, coupled with a business that generates cash and has a strong moat, is the kind of foundation I like to see. The valuation isn't screaming bargain, but it's reasonable, and the conservative debt levels provide a good margin of safety. This one's definitely worth a closer look for the long haul.
