SmartStop Announces May 2025 Dividend, Reaffirming Commitment to Shareholder Returns

SmartStop Self Storage REIT is continuing to deliver for its shareholders. On April 29, the company’s board declared its dividend for May 2025—part of a monthly distribution strategy that targets an annualized yield of $1.60 per share. The payout applies evenly across all share classes.

Investors holding shares as of May 30 will receive $0.13589041 per share on June 13. That includes holders of Class A, Class T, and unclassified common stock. With the record date and payment schedule now set, shareholders know exactly when to expect their return.

SmartStop’s regular distributions are designed to give investors predictability and consistency. The company’s listing on the NYSE under the symbol SMA adds another layer of accessibility for those tracking its performance.
