Valuing Public Storage stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Public Storage's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Public 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 32x. In other words, Public Storage shares trade at around 32x 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.
Public Storage's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.0696. 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 Public 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.
Public Storage's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $2.5 billion.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Public Storage.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 19.51
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Public Storage's overall score of 19.51 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 14th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Public Storage is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 4.67/100
Public Storage's environmental score of 4.67 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Public Storage is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Public Storage scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Public Storage has managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 64.67% of net profits
Recently Public Storage has paid out, on average, around 64.67% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.51% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Public Storage shareholders could enjoy a 2.51% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Public Storage's case, that would currently equate to about $8 per share.
Public 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.
Public Storage's most recent dividend payout was on 30 June 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 June 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
