## Resource

GSI Capital Advisors just cashed out their entire stake in SmartStop Self Storage REIT, selling 124,919 shares for $4.1 million — a clear exit from the company. Meanwhile, SmartStop’s business is turning around: Q1 revenue surged 20% to $78.3M, and they swung from a loss to a $9.6M profit. Despite a 10% stock drop over the past year, management still forecasts strong FFO growth in 2026, showing confidence in their turnaround — even as GSI shifts focus to other real estate plays.
