Winston Score History

The full picture

StorageVault Canada is a self-storage company. It rents out storage units to regular people and small businesses who need extra space to store their belongings, furniture, inventory, or equipment. It is the largest publicly traded self-storage company in Canada, operating hundreds of facilities across the country under brands like Sentinel Storage and Access Storage.

The company makes money by collecting monthly rent from customers who use its storage units. It also earns revenue from portable and moving storage services through its Cubeit brand. StorageVault operates entirely within Canada, giving it a focused geographic footprint, and its large network of locations creates a scale advantage that is hard for smaller competitors to match. The main growth driver is continued acquisition of storage facilities across Canada, but rising interest rates and high debt levels from those acquisitions remain a key financial risk, which is reflected in its relatively low return on invested capital.
