O Realty Income Corporation
Realty Income Corporation has a mixed profile — some signals are healthy, others warrant a closer look.
Why we rate it 5.8
- Yield of 5.33% is on the higher end but historically sustainable for REITs and quality income payers
- Payout ratio of 236% — dividend exceeds reported earnings, sustainability questionable without growth
- Current yield is in line with the 5-year average of 5.10%
- Large-cap scale (>$50B) — established business with predictable cash flows
