NNN NNN REIT, Inc.
NNN REIT, Inc. has a mixed profile — some signals are healthy, others warrant a closer look.
Why we rate it 5.2
- Yield of 5.49% is on the higher end but historically sustainable for REITs and quality income payers
- Payout ratio of 116% — dividend exceeds reported earnings, sustainability questionable without growth
- Current yield is in line with the 5-year average of 5.18%
- Mid-cap scale — more sensitive to economic cycles
Where NNN ranks
We compute the same 0–10 safety score across 53 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. Here's where NNN lands inside that universe.
The universe is curated to the most-searched US dividend payers. We'll expand it as the data layer grows; sector percentiles only appear when we have at least 5 comparable peers.
The two questions a safety score doesn't answer
A safety score tells you how durable NNN's payout looks. It does not tell you what you keep after tax, or whether something else does the same job better.
On tax: what you actually pocket depends on whether NNN dividends are qualified — qualified distributions are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, while ordinary ones are taxed at your full marginal rate, a gap that can reach 22 percentage points of the income on the same headline yield.
On substitutes: if NNN's 5.2/10 score is lower than you want, see NNN alternatives — same-sector stocks ranked by how closely they match NNN on both yield and safety, so you can see what a swap actually costs you.
