Realty Income Draws Renewed Buy‑and‑Hold Praise for Net‑Lease Stability

New analysis points to the REIT’s scale plus its triple‑net structure as key reasons dividend investors favor the stock.

Overview

  • Coverage reiterates Realty Income’s status as a $52 billion bellwether in the net‑lease REIT segment.
  • A triple‑net lease shifts taxes, insurance, and maintenance to tenants, supporting predictable, inflation‑linked rent increases.
  • Portfolio occupancy stands at 98.7% across roughly 15,500 properties, with grocery stores at 10.8% of rent and convenience stores at 9.7%.
  • The stock’s income appeal is underscored by a streak of 112 consecutive quarterly dividend increases cited by the analysis.
  • Earlier December reporting noted adjusted FFO guidance of $4.25–$4.27 for 2025, an estimated 76% payout ratio, and an implied dividend yield near 5.6%.
