Extra Space Storage Is Too Expensive at Current Levels:

Compared to the Real Estate sector's average of 24.81, Extra Space Storage has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 25.7 and, according to its EPS guidance of 6.33, an expected P/E ratio of 25.2. Extra Space Storage's PEG ratio is 1.41 based on its 18.2% compound average growth rate of historical and projected earnings per share. However, we believe that it is more prudent to calculate the PEG ratio using the broader market's 5-year expected EPS growth rate of 14.3%, because the growth rate implied by Extra Space Storage's past and expected EPS is probably not sustainable. This more prudent approach shows a PEG ratio of 1.8, which suggests that the company's shares are actually overvalued.

Extra Space Storage's P/B ratio is 6.6 compared to its sector average of 2.24. The company is likely overvalued in terms of its net asset value. The company's shares are currently trading 210.4% above their fair value as expressed by Benjamin Graham's formula:

√(22.5 * 4-year average EPS * book value per share) = √(22.5 * 4.84 * 24.34) = $51.48
