Extra Space Storage Inc. (EXR)

Self-storage operator, 8,393 employees. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 20, 2026. Ranked 7 of the 15 Real Estate companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

A self-storage operator whose filing states 8,393 employees and nothing by kind of work, so the whole workforce is read at real estate.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 25% now, 37% at the end of 2027, 41% at the end of 2028, 41% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 41% desk work, 25% people work and 34% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 59% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 31% becomes checking a model's work and 9% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

15 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing says integrating AI into its or third parties' operations is expected to pose new cybersecurity risks, that attackers use AI tools, and that its use of AI, or an inability to benefit from it, may affect its business and the demand for storage.

• “Additionally, any integration of artificial intelligence in our or any third party's operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.”
• “Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using sophisticated tools and techniques (including artificial intelligence) that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.”
• “The use of, or inability to take advantage of the benefits of, artificial intelligence by us presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business and operating results or may adversely impact the demand for storage with the Company.”
• “We have begun and may continue to use artificial intelligence and machine learning (collectively, "AI") tools in our operations.”
• “We use AI in assessing marketing decisions and operating our stores.”
