What SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. reported on August 5, 2026

The quarter ending June 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“We posted a strong quarter of growth, highlighted by 17.6% year over year increase in our Funds from Operations as Adjusted per share,”
