Valuing Life Storage stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Life Storage's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Life Storage's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 30x. In other words, Life Storage shares trade at around 30x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Life Storage's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.34. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Life Storage's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Life Storage's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $582.5 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Life Storage's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 104.51% of net profits
Recently Life Storage has paid out, on average, around 104.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Life Storage shareholders could enjoy a 3.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Life Storage's case, that would currently equate to about $3.94 per share.
Life Storage's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Life Storage's most recent dividend payout was on 25 July 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 July 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Life Storage's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 27 January 2021. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Life Storage shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Life Storage shares which in turn could have impacted Life Storage's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Life Storage's shares have ranged in value from as little as $99.6891 up to $150.8492. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Life Storage's is 0.5721. This would suggest that Life Storage's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
