Abstract:
This project intends to analyze the publicly traded firm Global Self Storage (SELF). The goal of this research project is to analyze SELF's historical performance and compare it competitors in the industry. By using SELF's most recently disclosed financial statements and information available on the Bloomberg trading terminal this project will also determine SELF's effective tax rate, financial leverage and other key financial ratios. These ratios include: beta, debt, shares outstanding, market capitalization, FCF and times interest earned. These ratios will be important for an in-depth analysis of the entire firm. This historical analysis will be indicative of SELF's expected future performance. Global Self Storage is a small market cap firm located in Millbrook, NY. SELF currently trades below its IPO that occured 27 years ago in 1997. Analyzing these ratios will explain the stock's abnormally low price and generous dividend yield. The results of this project will yield a buy/ sell recommendation and help viewers determine if they want to invest in SELF.
