SVI operates in a structure relatively similar to a REIT but is much more growth-focussed. It needs to utilize debt in order to be able to grow its portfolio of assets which it rents out. It has also grown primarily via acquisition. The rising rate environment has created cost pressures, however we do think the outlook is positive. As Canada has already begun cutting rates, we think SVI stands to benefit from lower interest expenses (bottom-line expansion) and being able to isse more debt to finance growth (top line expansion). The industry is capital intensive so while high debt is a risk, it is somewhat unavoidable. We like the outlook for SVI.

He's recommended it before. It had a strong run, then pulled back for a while. They had to grow into their multiple, so the stock got ahead of itself. The storage sector is highly fragmented. They continue to make acqusitions. Margins are increasing. They're very good operators. It's a defensive play. A US player may eventually buy them.
