Baron Funds made the following comment about Extra Space Storage Inc. (NYSE:EXR) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

“Following a sharp correction in its share price over the course of 2022, we acquired shares in Extra Space Storage Inc. (NYSE:EXR). This REIT has assembled the second-largest self-storage portfolio in the country and has the largest portfolio of third-party managed self-storage facilities.

In our opinion, Extra Space’s management team is excellent. Over the last decade, management has delivered strong occupancy gains, rent growth, and expense control that has led to a cost of capital advantage relative to its peers. Management has capitalized on its cost of capital advantage by tripling its owned self-storage count since 2010. We believe the long-term growth opportunity for the company remains strong."
