"The third quarter saw a continuation of trends as we remain in a competitive environment for new customer rental rates while the existing customer remains very resilient," commented President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher P. Marr. 

The company estimates that its fully diluted earnings per share for 2024 will be between $1.72 and $1.76 and that its fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2024 will be between $2.62 and $2.66. 

Given just a 6% expected upside potential, growth-focused investors may not find CubeSmart stock attractive. Conversely, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors, who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 4.37% and consistent hikes. CubeSmart has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 13 years.
