Public Storage (PSA-PQ)
Public Storage trades as PSA-PQ on NYSE. This page collects what it has actually paid — every recorded payment, the calendar-year totals, the forward and trailing 12-month yields side by side against the last price, and the dates already declared.

The two yields above are different measurements and are not interchangeable. The forward yield annualises the last regular payment; the trailing 12-month yield counts the cash actually paid over the last 365 days. Neither is an interest rate, a bond's yield to maturity or an index effective yield, and none of those may be compared with these as like for like. See how we compute these numbers.
Our stored payment history for PSA-PQ begins in 2021. There is no current run of increases to report: either the most recent complete calendar year did not pay more than the year before it, or there is no earlier complete year in our history to compare it with.
A yield is just a payment divided by a price, so it moves every day even when the payment does not. The forward number is an estimate of the next twelve months; the trailing number is what was actually paid over the last twelve. Ex-date is the cut-off: own the shares before it and the next payment is yours, buy on or after it and the seller keeps it.
What PSA-PQ is
PSA-PQ is a preferred series, series Q — a separate class of shares issued by Public Storage (PSA), not the common stock itself. Most exchange-listed US preferreds are issued at a $25 par value and pay a stated rate on that par, so the dollar payment is fixed while the market price moves with interest rates and with the issuer's credit.
Preferred shares rank ahead of the common stock and behind every lender. The issuer must pay the preferred dividend before it pays anything to common holders, but it can skip the preferred dividend entirely — a cumulative series accrues the arrears, a non-cumulative one does not. Most series carry no vote and become callable at par on a set date, which is why a preferred trading above par rarely goes much higher. Read how preferred stocks work.
The common stock of the same issuer is PSA. The two securities respond to different things: the common tracks the business, the preferred tracks rates and credit.
Figures on this page are computed by Income Investing from the payment history and last price stored in our own database; the payment records come from fmp and the price from fmp, last recomputed Aug 25, 2026. They describe what has been paid, not what will be paid. Yield, payout ratio, our data sources and our methodology are explained elsewhere on the site.
Payment history
Each row is one payment as recorded by our data provider, newest first. The final column compares it with the nearest payment about a year earlier.
The table lists the 19 most recent recorded dividends for PSA-PQ, newest first, with ex-dates running from Dec 14, 2021 to Jun 15, 2026. The latest is $0.2469 per share in USD, ex-date Jun 15, 2026, pay date Jun 30, 2026. Measured against the nearest payment about a year earlier, 4 are higher, 1 lower and 10 unchanged; the remaining 4 have no comparable payment in the record. None is flagged as a special or one-off payment. Payment records supplied by fmp.
How to read this table: one row is one payment, newest at the top, and the amount is what a single share received on that one date. It is not an annual figure — the yearly ones are in the tiles above and in the totals further down. A row marked Special is a one-off the issuer chose to make rather than part of the regular schedule, which is why it is left out of the year-on-year comparison and out of those yearly totals. Whether the amount repeats for several rows or moves every time is a fact about the structure rather than a sign of health: a company usually resets its dividend once a year, while a fund's distribution can change with every payment.

The cadence column is the tag our provider attached to that individual payment (fmp), not the security's established schedule. The two can disagree, which is why the cadence shown in the tiles above is only accepted after three consecutive payments were tagged the same way.
A blank comparison means there was no comparable payment within sixty days of the same point a year earlier — a new payer, a changed cadence, or a gap in the record. Special and one-off payments are labelled and are excluded from the comparison.
Dividends by calendar year
Calendar-year totals, bucketed by ex-dividend date: every regular dividend whose ex-dividend date fell in that year, for the last ten complete years on record. These are amounts actually paid, never a forward estimate, and they are not the issuer's own annual dividend figure.
The chart covers 5 complete calendar years for PSA-PQ, 2021 to 2025, per share, in USD. Each bar totals the regular dividends with an ex-dividend date in that calendar year. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, which is not necessarily the issuer's own dividend year. Our stored payment history for PSA-PQ begins in 2021. The total went from $0.3703 in 2021 to $0.9876 in 2025 — 167% higher. Within that span 2 years were higher than the year before and 0 lower. The three most recent years shown are 2023 $0.9875, 2024 $0.9875 and 2025 $0.9876. The current year is still in progress and is left out, and special or one-off payments are excluded. This is a record of what was paid, not a projection. 1 of the years shown does not hold the 4 dividends the recorded cadence implies: 2021 (1 payment). Those years are marked on the chart and named in the table. A year with one more or one fewer payment than the cadence implies is usually a payment whose ex-dividend date moved across a year end rather than a change in the payment itself: the payment lands in the neighbouring calendar year, so one year reads high and the next reads low while the rate never moved. The change-on-the-year-before column carries the same distortion, because it compares two totals rather than two payment rates. 2021 is the first year of payments we hold for PSA-PQ, so it is short because our record starts there, not because anything moved. These totals are arithmetically right for what they measure — regular dividends bucketed by ex-dividend date — but they are not the annual dividend the issuer reports for that year, and where the two disagree the issuer's own published dividend history is the authority.
Each bar, and each row underneath it, is one calendar year of regular payments added together for a single share. Read left to right and you are reading whether the payment has grown, held or been cut — a record of what was paid, never a forecast of what will be. One thing to watch for: a year here is decided by the date the payment went ex, so when that date slips across a year end one year holds an extra payment and its neighbour is one short while the payment itself never moved. Any year where that has happened is drawn as a dashed bar and marked with an asterisk, and it is the usual reason these totals differ from the annual figure the issuer itself publishes.

These are not the best-paying securities of this kind, and no ranking is meant by the order. They are the ones whose trailing 12-month yield sits nearest to this one, in the same structure and usually the same sector, so that this security can be seen in company rather than on its own. Every figure here is backward-looking cash that has already been paid. A row that sits well away from the rest is a question to take to that security's own page, not an answer.

Every row in this table is on the same basis — cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days, divided by that security's last price — so the column can be read down. Forward estimates are deliberately not used here, because they exist for some securities and not others and a mixed column would invite a comparison that does not hold. A dash means no payment was recorded in the last 365 days, or no price is on file. Open a security to see both of its yields.
